This is Las Acacias, the 2025 Cup of Excellence #10 "Traditional" category winner. COE coffees are special, and this is our first such offering of 2025. We love this coffee's clean flavors of mango, cotton candy, and citrusy finish. The pacas variety is grown traditionally all across Honduras, hence the "traditional" category. We're also bundling this coffee in the Honduras Duo Box Set which pairs Acacias with our "Exotic" #9 winner, Itacayo — OR get Acacias with a COE Costa Rica winner #7 Santa Teresa in the COE Combo Box Set!
Acacias is a small 2-hectare farm located in the famed Santa Bárbara region of Honduras planted with 60% Pacas variety, 20% SL-28, and 20% geisha. This COE-winning lot underwent a single anaerobic fermentation step. The whole cherry fermented for 72-hours in a custom-built cold room, followed by depulping and thorough washing. The coffee dried for 18 days in a solar drier, with hand-sorting to remove defects.
Prior to coffee, Evin farmed vegetables, without much profit. In 2010 he began farming coffee based on advice from his father, an experienced coffee producer in his own right. Just a few years later in 2013, Evin placed 12th in the Cup of Excellence, and his success built rapidly after that. We’re overjoyed to present this coffee to you and to work with Evin for many harvests to come.
Process: anaerobic washed
Region: Santa Bárbara, Honduras
