Coffee Details

We only have around 100 pounds of this very exclusive, single-farm lot from Arturo Paz. Mr. Paz is a 3rd generation producer in the Santa Barbara growing region of Honduras. Arturo's grandfather was actually one of the first producers to grow coffee in the area. Arturo has had a great impact on promoting specialty coffee in the area, and is the chief agronomist of Beneficio San Vicente, the mill that processes and exports specialty coffee from the region. He provides feedback and support to producers across Santa Barbara, elevating the quality region-wide. Thanks to the Paz family, and Beneficio San Vicente, the amazing, high-quality coffees from this region are receiving the fame they deserve.

Produced by Arturo Paz in the Santa Barbara region, the Honduras Arturo Paz 2 represents a distinct expression of Honduras · Santa Barbara coffee production. This lot, roasted by Case Coffee Roasters, highlights a profile characterized by apple spice, vanilla, and blueberry cobbler. While individual lots vary based on processing and specific micro-climates, coffees from this region are often noted for their complexity and depth.

When evaluating the nuances of such a profile, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better identify the specific aromatic compounds present in the cup. Because flavor perception is subjective, utilizing standardized sensory tools can assist in distinguishing between the subtle spice notes and the deeper fruit-forward characteristics found in this particular harvest. By focusing on these specific descriptors, drinkers can better appreciate the careful work Arturo Paz has invested in this coffee, bridging the gap between the producer’s labor and the final roasted experience.
