FROM A SINGLE PRODUCER This microlot comes from Finca Fuentes, a small 4 hectare farm located at 1,540 to 1,650 meters above sea level in the highlands of Lempira, western Honduras. Managed by a single producer, Anain Cortez, the farm is named after the natural springs (“fuentes”) that flow through the property—a feature that not only defines its identity but also highlights the producer’s deep connection to the land. Inherited from Anain’s father, the farm is lovingly maintained using traditional practices. THE VARIETALS AND PROCESS Grown in clay-rich soils, the coffee is a mix of IHCAFE 90, Yellow Catuai, and Lempira varieties. It is fully washed using traditional fermentation methods and dried on patios and covered beds under the sun. A COFFEE THAT GIVES Beyond the cup, Anain is also dedicated to sustainability—having planted 10,000 trees to preserve forest cover and protect water sources—and supports his local community by donating school supplies to a nearby school.
