Honduran Coffee Beans

Honduras has been cultivating coffee for over two hundred years, with current statistics showing a cultivation area of 280,000 hectares. The industry is dominated by small coffee farmers, with 92% of Honduran coffee growers being small-scale individuals. In the coffee plantations, farmers harvest red cherries, process them using washed fermentation methods, and grade them according to market demands to satisfy consumers' diverse flavor preferences.

San Vicente Processing Plant

San Vicente is a classic and historic processing plant in Honduras, led by renowned local agronomist Mr. Angel Arturo Paz. This leadership is the secret behind San Vicente's consistent success in the Cup of Excellence (COE) competition. The plant purchases coffee cherries from small farmers in surrounding towns such as El Cielito, Las Flores, and El Cedral, providing significant professional knowledge, technical support, and economic assistance to these small farmers. This support has enabled Honduran coffee beans from this region to consistently impress consumers with their high sweetness and fruit-like flavor profiles.

Pacas Arabica Variety

Pacas Arabica belongs to the Bourbon family lineage, representing a natural mutation of Bourbon. It was first discovered and selected in El Salvador around 1949. The most significant morphological difference from Bourbon is its shorter plant stature, clustered fruit formation, and abundant yields. However, its flavor performance is significantly superior to its relative nicknamed "dwarf Bourbon" - Caturra. Because of these excellent characteristics, Pacas is often used as a foundation for breeding programs. The most famous example is its hybrid offspring with Maragogype - Pacamara.

Honduran Coffee Bean Processing Methods

Coffee processing refers to the transformation of mature red cherries into dried green beans. Each processing method has its advantages and disadvantages, influenced by the natural environment and different demands of production regions. Therefore, each production area has developed suitable processing methods. This particular batch uses the natural processing method.

Washed / Wet Processed

After removing the peel and pulp, the beans are soaked in fermentation tanks to ferment, clearing the mucilage residue remaining on the parchment. They are then washed with water, resulting in one of the essential characteristics of specialty coffee: rich acidity.
