This is the second year we’ve released the “Pride of Tineco” and we’re proud of this coffee and our collaboration with coffee farmers Armando Rodriguez and Dublas Lopez. This year’s coffee is a blend of Armando’s Catuai and Dublas’ Icatu 90. These farms are a stone throw away from each other and Armando and Dublas have been friends for years. 

The climate was a challenge for Honduran farmers this year. The rains came late and then kept going through the harvest season. Despite that, we found that this coffee has a nice juicy acidity with a sweet chocolate finish. 

Thanks to you and our direct trade model, Armando and Dublas were able to get above market value for their coffee. This means more left over to invest in their farms and communities. 

Check out Armando’s other coffee, “Armando’s Natural” to try a very different, but also amazing coffee from the same farm.
