Detailed Information
In the mountainous region of Santa Bárbara, Honduras, specifically in the community of El Cedral, lies Finca La Salsa, where distinguished varieties such as Geisha and SL-28 thrive in cooler temperatures and protection from direct sunlight, under a unique microclimate due to its proximity to Lake Yojoa. These conditions contribute to the slow ripening of the cherries and an exceptionally sweet, superior cup profile.
Don Benjamín Paz, a close friend and producer who won the Cup of Excellence in 2022 and 2024, is concerned about the conservation of natural resources on his farm and uses forest protection practices, as well as guama and avocado trees to regulate the shade on his coffee plantation.
The Geisha variety exudes incredible elegance with its tall stature, long branches, and greater internodal spacing. This air of grandeur seems to translate to the cup; after undergoing a careful, washed fermentation process, it develops very expressive fruit flavors: tropical, stone fruit, citrus, and floral notes that contribute a delightful subtlety.
Extraction recipe
This ‘Pacamara’ by Luis Alberto is processed with the 2020 Cup of Excellence–winning method. A clean and elegant coffee. Notes of black tea, cherry, and cocoa.
Roasting and Shipping
We roast to order, which means we don't keep roasted coffee in stock at the shop. As a matter of routine, we have three roasting days per week: Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday (excluding public holidays). If you place your order before 8:00 a.m. on one of those days, your coffee will be roasted that same day; otherwise, it will be roasted the next day. Orders are sent to their destination the day after they are toasted (Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday respectively). Please note that if your order does not contain coffee, it will be shipped the next business day after it is placed and will arrive at its destination within the following 48 hours (excluding holidays). Shipping costs are calculated during the checkout process.
