Coffee Description
Dense jungle. Steep mountainsides covered in mist. Stone tunnels routing water from nearby rivers. This is a prime venue for some really special coffee, and this micro lot from Finca Los Tuneles—Farm of the Tunnels—is just that. Ripe and sweet, fruity and undertoned with honey, this Honduran coffee upholds the Marcala region’s reputation for quality coffee.
This coffee has a floral aroma leading to flavors of pear, strawberry and tropical fruit. It's got a medium body and bright acidity, with a balanced progression and a delicate candied hazelnut aftertaste.

About Juan David Chavez of Honduras
Juan David Chavez, owner of Finca Los Tuneles, is dedicated to growing organic coffee (pictured, right). Don David is also the President of the COMSA co-op (Café Organico Marcala, S.A.). Since its inception in 2001, the cooperative has grown to 610 members. Their certified organic status enables them to market beans internationally and obtain better prices. Together they reinvest in themselves and their farms through agricultural education and endeavors for community development, funding such programs as teacher salaries, school supplies, and gardening.
On COMSA’s test farm, members create insecticides from organic ingredients such as onions, alcohol, and ginger, and make organic fertilizer available to all members.. Here they also test plants for organic/inorganic compounds and soils for mineral content with a view to help member farmers in their own process of transitioning from conventional to organic processes.
