As a cheeky, unusual espresso

Why does coffee taste the way it does?

The family farm is located at approximately 1,700 meters above sea level. The coffee grows more slowly in the cool climate and develops the citrus acidity characteristic of the Marcala region. The cherries are pulped immediately after picking, dry-fermented in a fermentation tank, and washed after about 20 hours. Fermentation dissolves the pectin layer surrounding the coffee seed. The beans are then regularly dried and turned on a patio in Marcala.

Tell me more about Flhor

Flhor represents the next generation of the Zelaya Contreras family, who were among the organic coffee pioneers in Honduras 30 years ago. 18 Conejo's work focuses on soil health. The better the soil, the more resilient the coffee plant. We support agricultural approaches that are regenerative and take a holistic approach to coffee production. This includes the in-house production of fertilizer, which makes producers less dependent on market fluctuations. Small-scale producers in particular need a broad toolbox to respond to the constant challenges of coffee cultivation. Whether organic, biodynamic, regenerative, or a blend of different approaches – we support anything that empowers coffee producers and empowers them. We have been working with Flhor and her family since 2017, roasting their biodynamically produced coffee.
