Honduras Manuel Vallecillo
How Honduras Manuel Vallecillo tastes.
Pacas, high in Santa Barbara.
Proud Mary's connection to the Santa Barbara region began in 2012, when they were introduced to a small group of producers around the town of Peña Blanca, close to the shores of Lake Yojoa. More than a decade later that group has grown and the relationships have deepened.
Manuel Vallecillo was born in Nueva Esperanza, near Santa Barbara, and worked in coffee production from a young age. He later moved to the US, but in 2014 coffee called him back and he bought Finca Los Primos in the mountains of Santa Barbara. The farm is planted exclusively with Pacas — a variety native to El Salvador that thrives in the microclimate around Manuel's farm. He now splits his time between Texas and El Cielito, spending harvest season at the farm.
Make the most of it.
Roasted by Proud Mary on the date shown on the size chip, and shipped about one week after roasting — so it lands just as the beans reach their 2-to-3-week peak. Grind just before you brew.
Roasted by Proud Mary.
Proud Mary has roasted out of Melbourne since 2009 — one of Australia's most decorated specialty roasters, built on direct, long-running relationships with the farms it buys from. We import their lots because they reach cup quality we can't source any other way, and each one ships about a week after its roast date so it lands in your grinder inside its peak window.

Everything drinkers ask before their first bag. Still curious? Read the full FAQ →
How fresh is the coffee when it arrives?+
This lot is roasted by Proud Mary on the date shown beside the size, and ships about one week after roasting — right as the beans enter their 2-to-3-week peak. Domestic orders typically arrive 1–3 business days after dispatch.
When is the coffee at its best?+
Beans need about 5 to 7 days to degas, then hold their peak from 7 to 30 days after the roast date printed on the bag. Keep the bag sealed, somewhere dark and room-temperature — never in the fridge.
Whole bean or ground?+
Whole bean stays fresh longest, so pick that if you have a grinder. If you don't, choose the grind that matches your brewer and we grind it right after roasting.
How does the subscription work?+
Pick your coffee, size and rhythm. Shipping is free on every Malaysian delivery, and you can skip, swap or cancel anytime. FIRSTTASTE takes 15% off your first three shipments.
What if I don't like it?+
Tell us and we'll replace it free, no questions asked. We would rather you found your coffee than kept one you don't love.
Where do you ship?+
Free shipping from RM80 in Peninsular Malaysia and RM150 in East Malaysia. We also ship to Singapore (free from RM200), Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Hong Kong, Australia, the UK and most of Europe — rates calculated at checkout.
