A new edition of Green Coffee Academy: from the plantation all the way to IMA Coffee Lab

IMA Coffee, in partnership with Umami Area Honduras, is launching a new edition of the Green Coffee Academy: an all-round coffee experience that will start off in the plantations of Honduras and end in the research facilities of IMA Coffee Lab.

The Green Coffee Academy’s main theme is the green coffee supply chain – from the plantation all the way to cleaning and roasting plants.

The project stems from the need to investigate the origins of green coffee in order to better understand its botanical species and varieties, harvesting and processing techniques. The goal of this full-immersion initiative is to deepen participants’ understanding of raw materials and the coffee supply chain—from producing countries to roasting facilities—highlighting best practices that enable the creation of a high-quality, sustainable beverage. This includes selecting the most suitable roasting techniques for each botanical species while leveraging low-energy-impact roasting technologies.
