Honduras Finca El Pedrero

Ernelio Ortiz grows coffee on Finca El Pedrero, his 12-hectare farm in Honduras’ Montecillos region, an area known for its steep terrain, dramatic elevation changes, and cool evening temperatures that help develop sweet, dense cherries. With around 56,000 trees, mainly Catuai and IHCAFE 90, Ernelio farms with care for both quality and the environment, interplanting coffee with avocado trees and focusing on soil health and biodiversity. Ripe cherries are handpicked and sealed in containers for a controlled anaerobic fermentation, before being dried slowly over a month or more. This natural process enhances the coffee’s clean fruit-like sweetness, mild tangy malic acidity, and silky body, with notes of mandarin, strawberry, and vanilla.
