ABOUT

Evin Moreno is an exceptional producer from Santa Barbara, Honduras, and this marks our sixth year sourcing coffee from him and his wife, Alma. Together, they continue to craft some of the most thought_provoking coffees in the region. This season’s Geisha offers stunning clarity and extravagant florals, a true showcase of the dedication and artistry of Evin and his family.

During last year’s origin trip, we gained a deeper understanding of Evin and Alma’s thoughtful approach to producing their remarkable lots. Our visit concluded in his Geisha plot as golden hour settled over the trees, where our ongoing conversation about the future of coffee unfolded. Evin shared that his Geisha trees symbolize opportunities for his children that he himself never had. Experiences like this remind us how profoundly origin trips can reshape perspectives on coffee sourcing. We are proud to feature this extraordinary lot on our menu once again.

Produced by Evin Moreno in the El Cedral region of Santa Barbara, this Honduras lot showcases the distinct potential of the Geisha varietal when cultivated at 1620 masl. While fully washed coffees are often celebrated for their clean, vibrant acidity and structural clarity, this specific offering from Seven Seeds highlights a delicate profile characterized by notes of champagne, fresh strawberries, and hibiscus.

The Santa Barbara region, located within the broader Honduras coffee landscape, has become increasingly recognized for producing complex, high-quality lots. When evaluating the nuances of such a refined cup, drinkers may find it helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better articulate the interplay between the floral aromatics and the bright fruit characteristics present in this harvest. By focusing on precise processing and varietal selection, this coffee serves as a compelling example of the meticulous work currently emerging from the El Cedral area.
