Honduras Ana Estévez

Ana Cecilia Estévez inherited her passion for coffee from her father, who was also a coffee producer and taught his daughter all about growing coffee when she was very young. Inspired by her father's success, Ana worked very hard to make her dream of owning a piece of land come true. In 2012 she acquired her own farm in Corquín, Copán, where she grows catuaí, lempira and IHCAFE 90 varieties.

Her coffee plantation is surrounded by cedar trees, mahogany and orange trees that provide shade for the coffee trees.

Ana is keen to experiment with different processing methods to create new flavours in a cup of coffee, as exemplified by our new coffee. Once the ripe berries reach a certain sugar content (above 20 BRIX), they are selectively harvested by hand. They are then transported to the processing plant for washing. The cherries are then placed in polypropylene sacks and sealed for 72 hours to achieve an anaerobic environment and controlled fermentation. The next step is drying until the grains reach the ideal moisture content for export.

This coffee is the result of passion, tradition and the constant search for perfection. It is a coffee for those who appreciate true quality and the story behind it.
