Honduras Honey
Our latest offering from Honduras is from our friends at Finca Terrerito (Finca T), a 5th-generation specialty coffee farm located in Copan, Honduras. They source from their own farms and neighboring farms to ensure the highest-quality green beans. Their coffee is processed using clean, well water from 400 ft below the ground and stored in parchment form until exported. This coffee is certified Organic, Rainforest Alliance, Fair Trade, and certified Bird Friendly.
For this particular coffee, the cherry itself is brought in from nearby producers in San Sebastián and Belen Gualcho. Because the nearby farms would have great difficulty with the honey process, Finca T adds a much needed resource for the nearby producers, affording them the opportunity to provide different processes to their corps. where they are only equipped to process the coffee as a washed. With the help of Finca T, the cherries are de-pulped the night after they are picked, then they are immediately taken to the raised beds and the patio to dry for about 18 days. The coffee is constantly monitored for temperature and moisture content and rotated to ensure an even and steady drying.
At Finca Terrerito, we find the exemplary model of a producer dedicated to improving lives, sustainable practices , and the production of extraordinary coffee.
In 2023, they embarked on a multigenerational project that would change the destiny of many families: building a school and a medical clinic to serve their team and neighboring communities, creating a legacy of well-being that will endure. Today, the school is fully staffed and operating, shaping future leaders who will serve with passion and commitment. They have also provided drinking water to communities through water wells that are already serving everyone.
We hope you fully enjoy this offering from Finca Terrerito as much as we do! We found this coffee to have beautiful notes of vanilla, cinnamon, tart cherry, and caramel.
