Carlos Ramos' coffees have been on our menu since 2011. Always clean and well processed, always sweet. His harvest volume has grown markedly in that time from less than ten bags exportable green to over 70 this year. This is a testament to the program instituted by Benjamin Paz and crew at Beneficio San Vicente.

Carlos works very hard to replicate consistently good coffees year in year out. We're pleased to feature this lot of pacas at filter for now.

Context

This natural-processed Pacas from Carlos Ramos showcases the varietal's characteristic sweetness. Grown at 1,650 meters in El Cielito, Santa Bárbara, the lot expresses notes of snickerdoodle, marzipan, and maple candies—a profile typical of coffees where fermentation amplifies fruit-forward and candy-like aromatics. Bows & Arrows Coffee has developed this Honduras origin to emphasize those dessert-leaning qualities, making it an approachable entry point for those seeking natural-process coffees with rounded, confectionery appeal rather than bright acidity.
