About this Coffee
Savor the summer breeze with this coffee as it carries us into fall. Flavors of a Red Apple harvest round out its layered sweetness. Notes of Apricot add a nice complexity, while the textures of Carmel provide a bold finish.
We are always excited to share the best coffees from Santa Barbara, Honduras. This coffee combines a number of high-quality micro-lots sourced from this region, brought together by our partners at Beneficio San Vicente.
Every year when we visit Honduras on origin trips, we are absolutely blown away by the vast majority of coffees being grown in the Santa Barbara region. We are grateful to have so many opportunities to connect at farmelevel, share stories with our partners, and cup through countless coffees from each year’s harvest. As a part of our farmlevel initiative, we are committed to investing in coffee-producing communities. A major factor in that investment is committing to buying coffee from our direct-trade partners year after year. While our partners are facing drastic and challenging shifts in producing coffee, this single origin offering is an effort to support producers whose harvests have been greatly affected by unprecedented weather conditions hurting their harvest.
Yojoa is the name of the largest lake in Honduras, situated at the base of Santa Barbara. Naming a coffee after this lake encapsulates the admiration and appreciation we have for our partners in this area. This coffee is a space for community to come together and for us to feature the best of the best while reinvesting in the future of coffee producers from this region.
