Last year, we purchased Danilo's washed Parainema lot and loved it. When we got the chance to sample the natural this year, we were blown away! 

This stunning coffee from his farm Los Cedros, underwent a 50hrd anaerobic fermentation prior to being dried in the sun for 20-25 days, in cherry. the outcome is a sweet & fruit forward coffee with a boozy, wine-like structure and an undertone of cacao nib. 

Farming coffee in Honduras is no easy task ; Danilo has to navigate labour shortage, climate change and much more. It however won't stop him as his long-term goal is to keep is plot in excellent productive condition. He also wants to give his children a better life than he had, ensuring access to good education, healthcare & nutrition.
