Marysabel Caballero and Moisés Herrera own Finca El Puente. Marysabel, a third-generation coffee farmer, met Moisés, an accountant, when he was sent to manage the Honduran operations of a Guatemalan coffee company. They fell in love, married, and established Finca El Puente on land in Chinacla. Over the years, Moisés and Marysabel’s farm and family have grown, but they remain steadfast in their dedication to producing the highest-quality coffee possible. Their effort has paid off: coffee from Finca El Puente has won many awards and is regularly featured in premier cafes across the globe.
Moisés and Marysabel constantly improve all aspects of their coffee production. Recently, tweaks to their processing resulted in a 90% reduction in water used to wash the coffee, with no loss to quality. Marysabel and Moisés also strive to be excellent employers, retaining workers year-round, improving their housing, and investing in schools for their employees' children and the greater community.
Though Finca El Puente is known for growing and testing unique coffee varieties, this coffee is 100% Catuai, the most popular variety on their farm. This year’s offering sings with notes of apricot, nougat, and cocoa.
