Region: Concepcion del Sur, Santa BarbaraÂ
Elevation: 1650 - 1850 masl
About: Itâs difficult to know where to begin when talking about Benjamin Paz. He is a coffee producer, exporter, community leader, and an ambassador for Honduran coffee, as well as a central figure connecting many producer and roaster relationships. We are fortunate to also call him a friend.Â
Benjaminâs farm, Finca La Salsa, is planted with varieties not typically associated with Honduras, including Panamanian Geisha and SL-28. Situated high on the slopes around Lake Yojoa, the farm is often covered in dense mist. This cool, shaded microclimate slows cherry maturation and contributes to a notably sweet cup profile.Â
The story of Panamanian Geisha in Santa Barbara is closely linked to Proud Mary. Over several visits, Proud Mary founder Nolan Hirte brought seeds from some of Panamaâs most renowned farms, which were later planted throughout the region. As a result, Benjaminâs Geisha shares the same genetic lineage as some of the worldâs most celebrated examples. This has been reflected in his success at the Cup of Excellence, with five consecutive top-five finishes, including two first-place wins.Â
This Anaerobic Washed Geisha comes from the same section of the farm that has produced many of Benjaminâs standout competition coffees.
