Online ordering opens soon. Get in touch to reserve a bag.
El Mirador is the newest addition to Santa Lucía Estate, De La Finca's own family farms in Tres Pinos, Comayagua. The farm sits at 1,650 meters, looking out to the Panacama National Reserve next door. Gesha, Pacamara, and Typica grow here now. Renovation plots of Pink Bourbon, SL28, Red Catuaí, and Parainema are coming in behind them. A farm in motion.
This is the same washed Red Bourbon and Typica we roast for Honduras El Mirador, taken further. Dark chocolate, molasses, and toasted almond. We develop it well short of French, so the coffee stays in front of the roast.
One coffee, two roast profiles. Compare the batch pages: the color reading and development percentage tell you exactly what changed.
Washed processing pulps the fruit off the bean and ferments away what remains before drying, leaving the varietal and the ground it grew in to speak for themselves.
A clean washed lot is also the right base to take dark. There is no fermented fruit character to clash with the deeper development, so the roast can build body and molasses sweetness without turning muddled or ashy.
Green price is the importer's published offer for this lot. Batch number, color, and development live on each batch page.
