Sustainable and Traditional Processing:

The producers of Honduras La Paz Montecillos are deeply rooted in their coffee-producing heritage, generating employment and supporting their communities. Their farms, once small plots inherited from their ancestors, have expanded over the years, preserving a legacy of excellence.

The ecological washing process employs modern yet sustainable techniques. Utilising ecological pulpers, the coffee undergoes continuous pulping and washing before being transported to traditional running channels. Here, a stream of water and a rake are used to wash the coffee, removing any damaged or unripe beans. This meticulous process ensures the highest quality beans are selected.

Meticulous Drying Process:

The drying of our coffee is a critical step in achieving its exceptional flavour. La Paz Montecillos coffee is dried on patios using blankets or Zaran. The beans are carefully spread out and turned regularly with wooden rakes to ensure uniform drying. This method preserves the beans' unique characteristics and enhances their quality.

By choosing Goatherd Coffee's Honduras La Paz Montecillos, you are not only savouring a cup of premium coffee but also supporting a tradition of excellence and community development. Each sip tells the story of dedication, heritage, and the unparalleled passion of our producers.
