El Trópico – Honduras

Information

Description

Discover this exceptional microlot coffee that showcases the passion of three generations of coffee farmers. The remarkable Finca Adolfo farm, where Bryan Adolfo Bautista Zelaya, a young third-generation farmer, has transformed his family’s legacy into a beacon of specialty coffee excellence.

Roasted to a perfect medium profile, this natural processed Catuai is cultivated at elevations between 1400-1540 meters in the pristine regions of Musula, Marcala, La Paz. The carefully managed fermentation process brings forth a delightful harmony of flavors, leading with vibrant notes of tamarind and pineapple, complemented by bright red fruit undertones. This coffee particularly shines when prepared as a pour-over, moka pot, or filter brew, where its clean, well-balanced profile and distinctive character fully emerge to showcase the best of Honduran coffee craftsmanship.

The farm’s story is one of evolution and dedication – from Bryan’s father Juan Adolfo’s initial 50-hectare conventional coffee farm to Bryan’s innovative approach to specialty microlot production. Today, the 11-hectare farm includes a hectare of protected forest with a natural spring, demonstrating their commitment to environmental stewardship alongside coffee excellence.
