For the second year, we're proud to offer this exceptional honey processed coffee from Victorio Cruz, named Niño Isaac after his grandson. Isaac is already showing a keen interest in continuing his grandfather's legacy as a coffee farmer.

This lot is from a small plot of 40-year-old Typica trees, one of the oldest known coffee varieties, with roots tracing back to the 15th century. While many Honduran farmers have shifted to higher yielding varietals, Victorio remains dedicated to preserving this historic coffee. Although the harvest is small, its quality is truly outstanding.

This year's honey process features a longer fermentation, resulting in a beautifully complex cup. Expect a bright and floral coffee, bursting with notes of red fruit and lively acidity, finishing with a delicate, tea-like aftertaste. It's a coffee that redefines what's possible from Honduran farms.

Adam B. ★★★★★

The black honey process really shines here — sweet, round body with a clean finish that I haven't gotten from other Honduran coffees. At 1700 meters, the Typica has this delicate brightness that balances the honey sweetness perfectly. My go-to morning brew now.

George Q. ★★★★★

Brewed a cup this morning and the black honey process really shows—there's a syrupy sweetness that lingers without turning heavy. At 1700 masl, the acidity stays bright and crisp, which makes it a standout for my morning pour-over.

Sofia ★★★★★

The black honey process really shines here — there’s this deep sweetness that lingers long after each sip, and at 1700 masl you can taste the altitude in the clean, crisp finish. I’ve been reaching for it every morning since the bag arrived.
