Is this fundraiser program a Pre-Sale or Direct Sale?
The program is set up to be a pre-sale with no start-up costs. However, if you prefer to do a direct sale you can purchase the coffee up front and resell it as you best see fit. We have seen consistently better returns on the pre-sale fundraisers.

Is there a minimum order?
Yes. Our minimum order is 150 bags of coffee.

Is shipping always free?
Yes. Shipping is always free, direct from Costa Rica.

What does the coffee cost and what do we sell it for?
The suggested sales price is for each bag is $11. Per bag charges to your organization will vary with the number of bags ordered.
150 - 449 bags = $6.95 / bag and $4.05 in profit
500 - 999 bags = $6.50 / bag and $4.50 in profit
1000 and up = $6.00 / bag and $5.00 in profit

How does the coffee taste?
Our Café Q'Tal Tarrazu is roasted medium to bring out the bright floral notes, sparkling acidity and rich chocolate overtones. It is a full-bodied coffee with a rich and clean cup. Our coffee is one of the best coffees in the world. Unlike most coffee fundraisers which sell low quality coffee at a low price, with our coffee you are sure to get repeat purchasers. By selling high quality coffee, we know your fundraiser will work each time you do it.

Is the coffee fresh?
All orders are custom-roasted and packed in bags with one-way valves that keep the beans fresh for an extended period of time.

Is CAFECOSA in the USA or Costa Rica?
CAFECOSA has offices in both Costa Rica and the United States. Payment for all fundraisers is handled by the US office.

How do we get started?

What kinds of sales materials are provided?
We provide your organization with customized color order forms and color brochures along with chairperson planning tips, fundraising safety tips and fundraising selling tips.

How long is the pre-sale period and how long for shipping?
We suggest at least 2 weeks for the pre-sale period. You will receive your pre-sorted order within three weeks of receipt of payment. Our products are shipped (for free) via IBC International/FedEx Ground. Tracking numbers will be provided.

Are orders pre-sorted?
Yes, all orders are pre-sorted for easy distribution to all of your fundraiser participants.
