ORGANIC Honduras Mayorga Family Lot One Roast

ORGANIC Honduras Mayorga Family Lot

Please note that this coffee will be roasted on Wednesdays, as it is ORGANIC.

Honduras has become a bigger origin for us over the last few years. Big-bodied coffees that are chocolatey and nutty are so popular. Building supply chains has become challenging, as commitments come at a high price for producers. I am excited to say that we may have found Honduras Los Naranjos, which is producing some great coffees. Hopefully, we can work with these guys for years to come. Long-term relationships are the bedrock of what this business is all about.

Farm Stuff.

Having finally found a single farm in Honduras, producing the volume and quality of organic coffee that we need, Sebastian kindly dropped in and went to quiz the Mayorga family about their family history. You can read the results here.

Cafesmo was formalised in 2016 and has grown in what and how they process coffee. Cafesmo is based in a large zone around the hills of Mercedes, located in the very south of Honduras, a stone’s throw from El Salvador and Guatemala. Our plantations are protected by some of the country’s highest peaks.
