High in the mountains of Yoro, Central Honduras, he looked after me well — we shared a meal together that evening, and we've kept in touch on WhatsApp ever since. This coffee carries that relationship in every bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe farm sits at 1,250 m.a.s.l. and is planted with Parainema, a rust-resistant hybrid varietal that, in the wrong hands, can taste harsh and woody. In Mauro's hands, it's something else entirely. By selecting only the ripest cherries and processing them carefully using the washed method — pulped, fermented for 12–24 hours, then dried — he coaxes out a cup that's light, delicate, sweet and genuinely complex. Roasted to a medium-light degree, the result is a balanced sweetness and acidity with tasting notes of blackberry, stone fruit and pink grapefruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Story\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a coffee of resilience. In 2011, the region was devastated by a leaf rust epidemic that forced farmers to rip up their trees and start again. Then in 2020, two hurricanes in the space of two weeks left Mauro's village of Subirana cut off entirely after the only bridge was destroyed. They rebuilt. Because that's what they do round here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMauro is president of COMISUYL, a co-operative that has invested heavily in recovery and sustainability — organic farming, a partnership with the Mesoamerican Development Institute, and integration with the Pico Pijol national park that allows European roasters to purchase carbon credits for CO₂ offsetting. Their central processing site runs on solar panels, which is genuinely unusual for Central America. Progressive doesn't quite cover it. 🌱\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e🌍 \u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yoro, Honduras\u003cbr\u003e\n👨‍🌾 \u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mauro Rodriguez \/ COMISUYL Co-operative\u003cbr\u003e\n⛰️ \u003cstrong\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1,250 m.a.s.l.\u003cbr\u003e\n🌱 \u003cstrong\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Parainema\u003cbr\u003e\n🔬 \u003cstrong\u003eProcess:\u003c\/strong\u003e Washed (12–24hr fermentation)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrewing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a filter, this coffee is clean and fruit-forward — the washed processing lets the blackberry and pink grapefruit brightness sing without interference. Pull it as an espresso and the stone fruit sweetness rounds out beautifully.
