PRODUCER
Javier is the son of Don Andres, the producer of the coffees we have already featured in brown jars. His farm is just around the corner, and from the terrace of the washing station there is such an extraordinary view of the valley and Lake Yojoa that, if Bill Gates were to visit, this very landscape would be world-famous from the Windows desktop. The Fernandez family ('cause there's a second son, Nahun!) isn't afraid to play with processing and, through brave experimentation, delivers some of the best lots in all of Santa Barbara year after year. This is an opinion, not a fact. But also a fact!
ROASTER'S COMMENT
The eagle has landed! Fresh Hondurans finally in their place, i.e. the oven which turns green into brown. We are working with the Fernandez family for the third season. This time a fruity and floral flight from Javier. Anaerobic processing in this case put on a tuxedo and patent leather shoes, no wild, untidy stories. Everything we love about Santa Barbara is right here.
PACKAGING
The coffee is packed in a brown jar made of PET, 100% recyclable or reusable. In case you're thinking "oh no, plastic!", bear in mind that standard coffee packaging is also made of plastic (and a few other materials, making it often harder to recycle). We also thought about glass, but it's heavier, more expensive, breakable and, wait for it, has the same or greater (sic!) environmental impact! A plastic jar turns out to be pretty eco-friendly, just remember to put it in the right container, or find a creative way to reuse it at home.
