SL-28 is a legend in the coffee world. First selected in the 1930s by Scott Agricultural Laboratories in Kenya, the variety quickly earned recognition for its resilience and exceptional cup quality. Though it originated from a single tree discovered in Tanzania and carries a Bourbon-like genetic background, SL-28 rose to prominence in East Africa for producing some of the most complex and memorable coffees ever grown.
Today, this iconic variety has found a new home in southern Honduras at Finca El Puente, where husband-and-wife team Marysabel Caballero and Moisés Herrera cultivate it with the same dedication and precision that make their farm world-renowned. Their SL-28 is among the finest expressions we’ve tasted outside Africa: beautifully balanced yet wonderfully complex, with green apple sweetness, mouth-watering lime, and a crisp, clean finish.
