Overview
Experience the taste of Honduras
This coffee is a lovely microlot. The farm only produces around 750 45kg bags a year, and washed coffee only makes up a part of that. We are really lucky to be able to offer you this super coffee grown carefully in the Cordillera de Montecillos mountains. The farm is one of ten that are managed by Conexh, a small producer owned company, who also run the washing station. The farms in this area are typically small with about 10 hectares of coffee trees on each.

About the farmer

Rooted in a five-generation family tradition of coffee production, they own ten farms in a renowned coffee-growing region. Over the years, they’ve fostered close ties with local coffee farmers, uniting 40 members under the banner of “Los Compaz.”
CONEXH’s General Manager, Carlos Mejia, also known as Chollo, an engineer with deep roots in the coffee industry, hailing from Tutule.

Carlos, alongside his family, manages Finca El Chollo, a farm with around 65,000 coffee trees—a standard size in the Honduran coffee landscape.
About the region
This Honduran region boasts ideal conditions for Arabica coffee, featuring varieties such as Red & Yellow Catuaí, Pacas, and Lempira. The town of La Paz, nestled at 750 masl on the Cordillera de Montecillos’ eastern flanks, serves as the region’s administrative hub. The combination of altitude and climate in this agricultural-centric area not only fosters exceptional coffee but also produces citrus fruits, further enriching the local agricultural landscape. The unique conditions of this region contribute to the premium quality and exquisite taste of its Arabica coffee, cherished by coffee enthusiasts worldwide for its harmonious blend of acidity and sweetness.
About the process
The cooperative has incorporated the processing of freshly harvested coffee beans, employing a distinctive traditional sun-drying method across a 10-hectare area. Following the picking process, cherries undergo quality sorting and are subsequently processed through a depulping mill. The coffee cherries then undergo a 3-day fermentation period. Subsequently, the mucilage surrounding the beans is removed with water over a 30-hour period. Finally, the beans are dried and packed at 11% moisture content, allowing the flavours to thrive.
