About the producer

Finca El Puente is owned by Marysabel Caballero and Moisés Herrera. Marysabel, a third-generation coffee farmer, met Moisés, an accountant, when he was sent to manage the Honduran operations of a Guatemalan coffee company. They fell in love, married, and established Finca El Puente on land in Chenacla that Moisés owned. Over the years, Moisés and Marysabel’s farm and family have grown, but they remain steadfast in their dedication to producing the highest-quality coffee possible. Their effort has paid off: coffee from Finca El Puente has won several awards and is regularly featured in premier cafes across the globe.

About the processing

For this naturally processed lot, freshly picked, ripe coffee cherries are first laid out to dry in a single layer on raised beds for one week. Then, lots are combined to continue drying slowly for two to three additional weeks, before the dried fruit and parchment are removed from the seed.
