EDUAR MENDOZA

Tasting notes: Blood orange, Dragon fruit

Eduar Mendoza's story is one of a strong brotherhood. When his father passed out, his brother did everything to send Eduar to University and when he came back from school, they teamed up to manage and grow their late father's farm.

They've worked with the local IHCAFE (Honduran Coffee Organization) expert to improve their knowledge in specialty coffee and he's now able to dedicate 90% of his production to this market, even if he's only able to market 50% as specialty.

As many producers in this area, Eduar Mendoza faced the lack of trained labor for harvesting specialty coffee but he was able to train a group of people for this type of harvesting even he had to pay a bit more. And this is why we fully support paying a bit more for the green coffee, improving everybody's life is what we're striving for.

This natural coffee is a pure delight in the cup, with a juicy body and sweet notes of blood orange and dragon fruit.
