Origins
The region of El Paraiso can be found in southern Honduras, near the border with Nicaragua. It mostly lies at altitudes of 1,000-1,400, with relatively high average annual temperatures of 16-22°C. The local coffee is most famous for Oscar Daniel Ramirez Valerio, whose production is of exceptional quality and has been successful in international competitions. Honduras accounts for less than 4% of the world coffee market. The coffee bushes are usually planted on mountain slopes – ''fincas''. Farmers focus on arabica, with Bourbon, Caturra, Typica, Pacas, and Catuai varieties. The fruit is harvested between November and April and processed by washing. Previously, coffee grown in Honduras was mainly found in blends. However, in recent years it can be purchased as pure plantation coffee – and is one of the most sought-after. The farm in El Paraiso is dedicated to single-variety arabica of the Catuai variety. It has a balanced, sweet, and citrusy flavor, a soft body, and pleasant acidity. The variety itself is typical of Central America. It was introduced in Brazil in 1972. It is derived from the Guarani coffee plant and was created by crossing Yellow Caturra and Mundo Novo. In Honduras, almost half of all arabicas are of the Catuai variety. The shrub itself is smaller in stature, the fruit is yellow or red and holds well on the branches. That is an advantage in areas with strong winds or rain.
Benefits of coffee
Coffee packaging preview
Our quality aluminum packaging lacks any bold graphics, as we’d rather focus on the taste of our coffee. It always comes fresh thanks to degassing valve, which releases the gases that occur after roasting. Thanks to the hermetic seal, this container helps the contents further keep their freshness and protect them against humidity, light or foreign odors.
