Coffee Description
Mario Samuel uses varieties known for their excellent cup quality, constantly monitoring and tasting each dried lot to ensure the highest standards are met.
For this lot, cherries are collected when they are uniform before being put in hermetically sealed bags to ferment for 12 hours on the farm. After depulping at the washing station it ferments again for 26 hours. This double fermentation gives the coffee unique attributes in the cup. Once all the mucilage is washed off, it is taken to the drying beds for 18 to 25 days. It is only exposed to the sun after four days and then only in the afternoons to avoid drying too fast.

About Mario Samuel Mejia of Honduras
Finca El Jardín, established in 1981 and passed down through four generations of coffee growers, is now focused on producing high-quality coffees for differentiated markets. Located near the Montecillos Reserve, at altitudes of 1400 to 1650 masl, the farm benefits from the temperate climate and unique clay loam soils of La Paz. This region, known as "the site of the stone" by the native Lenca inhabitants, produces lower yields due to reduced daylight hours, but the quality is exceptional.
