The anti-blend made for espresso adventurers, our Sweet Tooth offering changes several times throughout the year.
We are very excited about the return of Sebastián Benitez’s La Piñona!
High above the town of El Cielito, overlooking Lake Yojoa, Sebastián grows these Pacas cherries on his farm at 1615 meters above sea level. The cooler temperatures from the lake often shrouds the farm in fog, which helps to slow down the maturation of the fruit.
Working the farm with the help of his wife and family, Sebastián relies on the help of only a handful of employees during the harvest, and manages to do all of the actual farming himself.
