ABOUT

Our decaffeinated version of La Cidra from the Lempira department ticks all the boxes! This offering merges the caramel-praline notes and malic acid we’ve come to love from producer Renato Sanchez with the sweetness and texture of the ethyl acetate decaf process.

Renato began with just one hectare of Catuaí varietal seedlings at the age of 25, and has grown his farm and operation in stages ever since. In 2006, he participated in Honduras’ Cup of Excellence and for the first time was exposed to the international specialty market. Sanchez couldn’t quite find a repeatable foothold in specialty until he began working with Beneficio San Vicente (as well as Square Mile) in 2022. The rest is history!

This year’s Catuai lot displays a little more fermentation, adding a touch of red fruit and berry to an otherwise classical washed coffee.
