From the Road: After Ocotepeque ... El Puente

4-30-09

Fabio and Caballero and his daughter Marysabel of Finca El Puente in Marcala, Honduras, joking around with Kim Elena Bullock over coconuts. Photo by Tim Hill. Counter Culture Coffee's Sustainability & Producer Relations Manager Kim Elena Bullock filed another trip report this week that picks up where she left off from her visit with Roberto Salazar in Ocotepeque, Honduras.

Kim Elena and Head Roaster Tim Hill headed north to San Pedro Sula, Honduras, where they greeted Marysabel Caballero and her father, Fabio. Though San Pedro Sula is smaller than Honduras' capital city, Tegucigalpa, it plays an undeniably important role in Honduran coffee in general and, more specifically, in Counter Culture Coffee's lot of Finca El Puente.

Read Kim Elena's Honduras trip report for more on the effects of the climate in San Pedro Sula on coffee from Honduras, their visit to the Finca El Puente farm in Marcala, Fabio's composting project, and a beautiful waterfall that inspired the coffee's icon.

Thanks,
Nathan

Finca El Puente
Catuai
Counter Culture Direct Trade Certified
Finca El Puente is a special coffee and truly close to our hearts. We discovered it on our very first trip to Honduras, fell in love with it then, and have been head over heels ever since. Moisés Herrera and Marysabel Caballero – the couple who run the farm – have become like family, and this year they continued the tradition of refining an already-great coffee. This harvest of Finca El Puente brings lighter purple-lavender and plum notes, black cherry, sugar cane sweetness, and toasted nut in the finish. View map.
