Caballero 2 Honduras. Catuai. Washed.
Every bean has a story
This is a very special coffee from Honduras.
The Caballero coffees are named after Marysabel Caballero, even though it is actually both Marysabel and her husband, Moisés Herrera, who create these beautiful coffees. Moisés always says lovingly that it is Marysabel who is the star!
Marysabel´s father, Don Fabio Caballero, inherited large areas of land in and around Marcala (south east in Honduras) from his father. His father was one of the pioneers of coffee cultivation in Honduras. After many years of poor profits, he decided to hand out land to his children, and especially to his daughter Marysabel and her husband. Moisés brought his own farms into the family business. Together they have almost 200 hectares of coffee separated into 17 different farms.
All farms are in the surroundings of their beneficio (wet mill) Xinacla. It's a central mill where they deliver cherries from each farm and process the coffees. They usually keep each farm's production separate. However, when the volume is too small from the day's pickings, they can also combine pickings from different farms. The quality can easily compete with the coffees from a single block or farm, but the Caballeros blend them to create slightly bigger lots.
They are 2nd and 3rd generation coffee farmers and have been awarded many times for their commitment in developing coffee quality in Honduras and improving the country's reputation. Marysabel and Moisés are focusing on sustainable practices in farming and milling. They document everything they do on the farms, investing considerable time and resources in order to improve the quality of the coffee. They invest both in new equipment and in planting new coffee varieties.
A lot of their energy and focus goes towards improving the soil of their farms. This happening to ensure a healthy growing environment for their coffee shrubs. Therefore, they produce organic fertilizer made from cow and chicken manure mixed with pulp from coffee cherries and other organic material. They use this in addition to some mineral fertilizer to ensure that the coffee plants get the nutrients they need. The team back at the farm grows oranges, avocados, flowers, bananas and other fruits! This is mainly for the pickers to eat and to create biodiversity at the farms that ensures good growing conditions and shade for the coffee trees.
What is remarkable, is that Marysabel and Moisés are the most decorated coffee growers in the history of the prestigious Honduras Cup of Excellence competition! Together they have produced an impressive 14 lots that have reached the CoE finals.

A rich coffee from the Caballero’s farms. This washed Catuai has deliciously tangy flavors of green apple and orange peel are perfectly balanced with rich caramel and cacao nibs ones, for a journey of the senses. With a smooth body, this is a coffee you will not stop craving!
It is great for espresso and perfect for a milk beverage!
