Honduras Caballero Family

In 2022, we celebrated a landmark — 20 years of collaboration with the Caballero family. In 2023, we celebrate a new start — Fabio and Sandra Isabel Caballero moved into a well-deserved retirement at the end of last season, and passed our relationship on to the next generation of Caballero coffee growers: their daughter, Marysabel, and her husband Moisés. We are in exceptionally good hands, as Marysabel and Moisés are the most decorated coffee growers in the history of the prestigious Honduras Cup of Excellence competition: together they have produced an astounding 14 lots that have reached the CoE finals.

The Honduras Caballero Family coffee represents a long-standing partnership between Intelligentsia Coffee and the esteemed producers Marysabel and Moisés Caballero. Cultivated in the high-quality growing regions of Honduras, this lot highlights the meticulous agricultural practices that have become synonymous with the Caballero name. When evaluating the nuances of such a specific origin, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better identify the complex aromatic and taste profiles often found in Central American harvests.

While every harvest is unique, coffees from this region are frequently celebrated for their balanced acidity and sweetness. By working directly with producers like Marysabel and Moisés, roasters are able to showcase the distinct character of the terroir. This offering serves as a testament to the dedication required to maintain consistent quality at the farm level, providing a clear window into the specific traditions and environmental conditions that define coffee production in this part of the world.
