Pedro Moreno established himself as one of Santa Barbara’s earliest specialty coffee producers in 1965, farming at approximately 1600 metres in the El Cedral community before the region (Santa Barbara) achieved its current hype as a premier municipality for speciality in Honduras – nearly all down to the excellent work of the Paz family and Beneficio San Vincente . Now in his nineties, Pedro has been farming for over 60 years – and in that time, he’s racked up multiple COE podium finishes – at least 9 by our count, 5 of which in the top 5 places.

This lot absolutely blew us away at the cupping table when we tried offer samples – showing a really refined application of processing – we find minimal held-in-cherry flavour and maximum florals and sweetness.
