Andrés Reyes Hernandez

Andrés Reyes Hernandez’s 4 hectare farm, Reyes, is found at 1670-1700 masl in the mountains of Pozo Negro, Intibucá. Coffee farming runs in the family; his grandfather was a pioneer of coffee production in Pozo Negro, helping to establish the practice in the community. Today, Andrés continues this legacy, working alongside his wife Teresa and their family across the farm. They grow the IH-90 varietal, a hybrid developed in Honduras in the 80s and 90s.

Produced by Andrés Reyes Hernandez in the Pozo Negro area of Intibucá, this lot represents the specific output of a dedicated producer in Honduras. The coffee is comprised of the IH-90 varietal, a cultivar developed to thrive within the unique microclimates of the region. Grown at an elevation between 1670 and 1700 meters above sea level, the cherries benefit from the cool, high-altitude conditions characteristic of this part of the country.

This particular selection is brought to market by Round Hill Roastery, who focus on highlighting the distinct terroir of the Pozo Negro landscape. When evaluating the profile of high-altitude Honduran coffees, roasters and enthusiasts often look for a balance of acidity and sweetness.
