Cipreses

At the helm of the Caballero Estate is Marysabel Caballero and her husband Moises Herrera. Marysabel is a third generation coffee farmer, who took on the family estate from her father, Don Fabio Caballero. Don Fabio had inherited this land from his father before him, who was a pioneer in coffee cultivation in Honduras. The estate is located in Marcala, South East Honduras - an area widely regarded as the best in the country for growing coffee due to its high altitudes and excellent soil quality. Caballero now spans almost 200 hectares amongst 100 hectares of forest, and is separated into 17 farms.

The Cipreses lot, sourced from the renowned Marcala region of Honduras, represents the meticulous work of producers Marysabel Caballero and Moises Herrera. Marcala is widely recognized for its unique microclimates, which often contribute to the distinct character found in coffees from this area. When evaluating such specific origins, it is helpful to consult a flavor wheel to better identify the nuanced profiles that emerge from these high-quality harvests.

This particular selection is brought to market by Round Hill Roastery, a roaster known for their focused approach to highlighting the inherent qualities of the green coffee they source. By maintaining a direct connection with producers like Caballero and Herrera, the roastery aims to showcase the terroir of the Cipreses farm. Understanding the relationship between the producer’s processing methods and the final roast profile is essential for any enthusiast looking to deepen their appreciation of Central American coffee production.
