We have bought coffees from this lesser known region of Honduras before and are thrilled to present this new find for you. Intibuca is a department in south west of Honduras and all the 60 producers who are part of the collective own farms between the towns of Masaguara and Intibuca. In this collective a typical producer will grow 20 to 50 bags of coffee per year (1.5 -3.5 tonnes) and own their own small mill and African beds for drying their coffee. There is constant investment in the farms and the dedication towards producing better quality coffee stands the producers in good stead to grow the value and awareness of coffees from their region.

Due to the fact all the producers pick and process everything on their own farms we can tell you that this lot is a combination of early pickings from the farms of Wilmer Grau, Yina Yamileth Reyes Gomez, Andres Rodriguez Hernandez, and Guadalupe Rodriguez.

As is the case with lots of our sourcing plans during the pandemic we were due to visit Intibuca in the spring of 2020. We really hope that we can go in early 2022 to meet with the producers and further our relationship with them and this wonderful region.
