Honduras Reserva Guama Danta Organic SHG/EP Fancy 2023
SKU: GEN23HNA
About the Coffee
Guama Danta is sourced from Comayagua, the most productive and diverse of Honduras' 15 coffee-producing regions. Here, one can find farms in almost every possible micro climate, making for nuanced, complex cups.
The smallholders who came together to produce this lot go beyond stellar agricultural practices and keen business sense – they are true community leaders who look out for their fellow producers every step of the way - from farm to market.
Alfonso Ramos, is a Guama Danta producer. He has been cultivating coffee since the 1960s. Today, he travels from farm to farm in the Comayagua region, helping farmers in remote areas move their coffee and negotiate fair prices for them. It’s through dedication and hard work from people like Alfonso that a community lot like Guama Danta can exist.
Origin Report
Honduras is a small Central American country with its share of problems. The World Bank estimates that in rural areas 20% of Hondurans earn less than $1.90 per day. Country-wide, roads are sub-optimal; many coffee farms in Honduras are accessible only via dirt roads that snake up along mountainsides. Despite these factors, entrepreneurial producers are working toward higher quality, experimenting with new processing techniques and growing high-profile varietals. The objective: kick down the door of the specialty coffee market, build a reputation as a specialty coffee origin and earn the money that comes with it.
