About the Producer

Hacienda Sonora Estate has been in Alberto's family for over a century, and its history is deeply rooted in coffee cultivation. When Alberto took over the farm in the 1970s, he made the strategic decision to dedicate most of the land to planting coffee. It soon became their primary source of income, and Alberto's passion for the industry grew. In 2011 Alberto's son Diego became a co-manager of Hacienda Sonora. Today, the estate boasts an impressive range of over 20 varieties spread across 80 hectares of coffee land. Additionally, they have set aside more than 20 hectares as a forest reserve, creating a welcoming haven for coffee lovers and nature enthusiasts alike.

One exceptional offering from Hacienda Sonora is this lot, the Honey-Natural blend, that has been meticulously crafted from a combination of black honey-processed coffee and naturally processed coffee. The black honey process involves drying the coffee with an intact mucilage layer, resulting in a unique creamy-textured profile. The natural process involves drying coffee inside the cherries, resulting in a fruity, winey flavour in the overall cup profile. This blend, also called 'red gold', due to its velvety crema, is ideal for espresso blending or enjoying as a single-origin filter.

The Honey Natural blend represents the culmination of Sonora's diverse varieties and process styles. Carefully selected and processed with exceptional efficiency, this coffee offers a truly special cupping experience, embodying the expertise and dedication of Hacienda Sonora.
