Finca El Chollo is a family-driven speciality coffee farm in the lush highlands of La Paz, Honduras, owned and managed by Carlos Mejía, nicknamed “Chollo” — a producer with deep roots in Honduran coffee culture. Born and raised among coffee trees in Tutule, Carlos carries forward his family’s legacy as part of CONEXH, a five-generation coffee business that now includes ten farms across the Montecillos Sierra region.
At Finca El Chollo, organic coffee thrives at elevation, where cool mountain air and rich soils slow cherry maturation - a key factor in developing balanced sweetness and clarity in the cup. The farm’s honey processing method involves gently depulping the cherries and letting the beans ferment with much of their natural mucilage intact, before drying them slowly in the sun for 12–15 days. This technique enhances natural sugars and body, yielding coffees with clean, silky profiles and vibrant sweetness.
Carlos’s father, Mario Mejía Martínez, a former expert at the Honduran Institute of Coffee (IHCAFE), oversees traditional sun-drying and quality control on the drying patios, ensuring that every lot reflects long-held family expertise and local savoir-faire.
