This version of The Filter Blend takes us to the Lempira department of Honduras, combining coffees from the well-known La Cidra and newcomer La Rinconada! The cranberry-orange acidity of La Cidra perfectly blends with the chocolatey depth of La Rinconada, creating a unique and memorable coffee experience.
Both of these coffees come to us through Beneficio San Vicente (BSV), a renowned Honduran dry miller and exporter. BSV has made a name for itself in Santa Barbara and in the country's Cup of Excellence. In early 2022, Benjamin Paz of BSV eagerly shared news of their pilot project in Lempira, which led to our purchasing from Renato Sanchez’s farm, La Cidra. Producers in Lempira, like Renato and La Rinconada’s Eucebio Aguilar, are known as “coffee cowboys” due to their large-scale operations in a competitive market. BSV is bringing its relationship-driven model to the area.
We are excited to pair La Cidra with La Rinconada. Eucebio started as a coffee cherry picker and gradually saved enough money to buy land and establish his farm. With support from friends, he produced his first specialty micro lot and continues to improve his infrastructure, aiming for a concrete drying patio to replace his current tarps.
