About Fernando Espana of Honduras
Finca El Puente is located in the highest growing areas of one of the most famous Mayan areas in the world. It's also becoming famous for its very own special microclimate, perfect for growing coffee. Because of the high altitude, cold nights, volcanic soil and high humidity, coffees from this mountain will show sparkly citrus, black currant, and very complex qualities.
Fernando Espana bought Finca El Puente in 1992 on day his first son was born, and named it after his grandmother. For the past 27 years, he’s been cultivating coffee there, always seeking to improve. Fernando is currently building solar dryers, planning to ferment 100% of his washed lots. He is also designing a comprehensive tracking system to keep a record of what happens to each lot from the date coffee gets picked until it is roasted and cupped.
