Honduran Pacavita – Green Coffee

Pacavita, located in the lush western region of Honduras, is renowned for producing coffee of exceptional quality. Surrounded by protected biological reserves and elevated mountain ranges, this region offers ideal growing conditions that yield beans of outstanding character and flavor.
The fully washed processing method highlights Pacavita’s pristine flavor profile. After harvesting, the vibrant cherries are carefully de-pulped, fermented to remove mucilage, and thoroughly washed to ensure clarity of taste. Sun-drying during the dry season locks in the beans’ natural sweetness and preserves their structure, readying them for roasting perfection.
Flavor notes of Pacavita green coffee reflect the harmony of its environment and meticulous processing. Expect a bright, clean cup with pronounced sweetness, balanced acidity, and subtle hints of caramel, citrus, and stone fruit. The high-altitude weather and rich clay soils contribute to the coffee’s dense body and layered complexity, making it a roaster’s dream.
This lot is a testament to the expertise of two primary producers:
Silvestre Vasquez, a passionate innovator, cultivates coffee at higher altitudes near Pico Congolón, within the Opalaca and Volcán Pacavita biological reserves.
Joel Lopez, a fourth-generation farmer, oversees Los Lesquines, where his family has farmed since 1865. His estate specializes in Bourbon, Caturra, and Catuai varieties, with 67 hectares dedicated to production.
Pacavita green coffee encapsulates the rich heritage, dedication, and artistry of its producers, delivering a truly exceptional experience for roasters and coffee lovers alike.
