About this coffee:
Proud Mary's connection to the Santa Barbara region of Honduras began back in 2012 when we were introduced to a small group of producers situated around the town of Peña Blanca, near the shores of the stunning Lake Yojoa. More than a decade later, that group has grown, and our relationships have deepened.
Ovidio Gomez was among the members of that initial group. A man of few words, Ovidio’s gruff exterior—often with a machete in hand—belies a passionate soul who cares deeply for the land and his community. His coffees have developed quite a following among our staff and regular customers, with each new incarnation eagerly anticipated year after year.
This lot comes from Ovidio’s newest farm, Los Gomitos. When he purchased Los Gomitos, large sections of the farm had been abandoned by the previous owner. After years of hard work, the farm is becoming more and more productive. This year’s lot does not disappoint, boasting plenty of sugary sweetness, a creamy body, and delicate stone fruit acidity.
