Our second offering from Nelson Ramirez this year is this clean and juicy, naturally processed coffee from Honduras. We are so excited to bring a second coffee from one of our returning producers, Nelson Ramirez. We've been purchasing coffee from Nelson for over four years, and are always so thrilled with the results. This coffee is bursting with purple forward flavour like Plum, Purple Wine Gums, with a sweetness that reminds us of Milk Chocolate Turkish Delight.

Coffee Origin:

Santa Barbara, Honduras

Located in the Central American coffee belt, Honduras sits among some of the strongest players in the global coffee trade. Making a name for itself in recent years, Honduras has become just as refined and sought after as its neighbours, producing some globally recognised and awarded coffees.

The peaks and plateaus of Honduras make it a perfectly diverse country for coffee growing, offering a variety of altitudes and climates to allow coffee to flourish in a multitude of ways.

Coffee Process:

Natural

The ripe and red cherries are collected after 6 hours of harvest. After this they are put on raised drying beds for 30-35 days, being turned over regularly and sorted through to further remove defects. The dry cherries are taken off at 10-11% of moisture content

Dry Parchment/cherry is transported to the miller and is milled to get graded by size and density. After milling the Green beans are sorted to remove some remaining defects, after which the coffee is assessed by the Quality Lab to finally put into Grainpro and sacks for Quality preservation before it is shipped.

Coffee Producer:

Nelson Ramirez

Nelson Ramirez is the third generation of coffee producers in his family. When he was 18 years old, he went to study agronomy at university and after graduating, worked for a food industry company. However, he always longed to have and work on a farm of coffee.

In his own words, “In 2007, I knew this region and I loved the potential to produce coffee of good quality. The next year, a friend called me and tell me that a man sold a great property on "El Cielito". I visited the farm and bought it immediately; that year I worked to rejuvenate the plants and started to produce coffee... In 2009, I prepared the first micro-lot, thank Angel Paz of San Vicente Mill, and could sell it as specialty coffee.”

In recent years, Nelson has worked to reduce the amount of waste his production generates. In addition to reusing the water he uses for washing his coffee, he has also built vermicompost facilities where he processes the pulp and part of the wastewater. This is very positive for the environment in the region and incredibly unique. We visited Nelson in May 2023 and saw first-hand how he has developed biodynamic practices to nurture and replenish his farm each harvest.
