About This Bean

Region: Las Flores, Santa Barbara Elevation: 1500-1550 masl <meta charset="utf-8">About: Proud Mary's connection to the Santa Barbara region of Honduras began all the way back in 2012 when we were introduced to a small group of producers situated around the town of Peña Blanca, close to the shores of the stunning Lake Yojoa. More than a decade later, that group of producers has grown in number, and our relationships have deepened. Nahun was one of the first producers we ever started working with. Back then, he grew traditional varieties, and only processed coffees used the washed method. Today, he is a processing master and has become a leader in his community by sharing all the techniques he has learnt. Because of Nahun’s dedication to both quality and his community, the quality of the coffee produced in the Las Flores community has been steadily improving. When we first started working with Nahun, natural processed coffees weren’t a thing in Las Flores. In 2016 the Fernandez family and Proud Mary conducted a little experiment to see what would happen. The result was delicious! What started with a single bag of naturally processed coffee has, over the years, revolutionized coffee production in and around Las Flores. Nahun’s blend of Natural Pacas and Catuai has become a mainstay on the menu for us, and this year’s lot is some of the best we’ve tasted.
