Why we like it?
This lot is the result of years of effort and high quality sustainable agricultural practices . Altitude and climatic conditions (very stable minimum temperatures) play a key role in achieving a unique, rich and complex flavor profile.

The freshly harvested coffee cherry is fermented in a low-oxygen tank for 24 hours and then dried as in any natural process, in raised beds in the shade.

Marysabel Caballero and Moisés Herrera, winners of the 2016 Cup of Excellence , are an example of consistent quality from the coffee field to the cup. Marysabel is the third generation of coffee producers in the Chinacla region, in the heart of Honduras. She brings knowledge and tradition to which her husband's palate and passion for innovation are added. Together, since 1996, they have become the most reputable Honduran family in the specialty sector.

The profile of the cup has an intense flavor and delicate notes of dark chocolate with ripe fruit: strawberry and orange.
