El Pedrero, Honduras (Filter)

Creamy and sweet.

The Coffee / Farm

El Pedrero is our new crop washed Honduran that really pushes the levels of quality in Honduran coffee. It's very clean, super sweet and low in acidity, showing all the signs of a coffee that is going to be widely popular.

It has a very smooth creamy milk chocolate body, with a subtle layer of raisin & damson sweetness. A tinge of acidity is present, but it's muted and sits gently in the background.

It would be very at home in drip machines, Cafetiere's or the Aeropress.

------

Honduras has become one of our most popular origins to source from over the last 4 years, with coffees like Capucas and Lepaterique, both being hugely popular.

Most of the coffees we source from Honduras tend to be regionals, meaning they are coffees coming from a collective of small farms that are commonly a close knit community or coop. In this case, El Pedrero is actually a tiny single estate small farm of just 7 hectares, but falls within the collectives support and goals.

It's a bit of a gem, and a pretty special little coffee.

They are a five generations old family business dedicated to the production of coffee owning 10 farms located in the emblematic Montecillos Sierra. This sits at a height ranging from 1450 to 1700 MASL with a coffee grown area of 200 hectares, including a variety of Arabica coffee plants such as Red & Yellow Catuaí, Pacas and Lempira.

Through the years they have been building an alliance with local coffee farmers, today they have 40 members integrating our group called “Los Compaz”.

CONEXH’s General Manager is Carlos Mejia, an Engineer also known as Chollo is born and raised among coffee plantations in his native Tutule and the driving force behind our operation from farm, processing and preparation to export the green coffee.
