About the Producer

This is our first year buying from Alejandro and like many producers in his area, he began working in coffee from a very young age, helping his father transport coffee to exporters around Honduras. After a career in the army, Alejandro found himself again working in the Lempira coffee region.

In 2017 along with his wife Olimpia, Alejandro began planting coffee. Starting with Catuai and IH90, he then moved on to producing his first micro-lot of Parainema. With the help of BSV, Alejandro hopes to utilise the good location and climate of the farm to increase quality and yields. 

Lempira has always been an important region for coffee production in Honduras, known for the productivity of its farms and the production of dense and consistent beans.  It's only in the last five years however that the potential for growing high-quality coffee has been uncovered, evidenced by five of the top 15 ranked coffees in the Honduras Cup of Excellence competition for 2023 being produced in Lempira.
