Coffee Background
Processing Detail
Humberto Ardon produced this micro-lot on a 34-acre farm called Liquidambar located in the community of El Portillo within San Andrés municipality in the department of Lempira, Honduras. Humberto uses his own micro-mill to process harvested cherries, which allows for meticulous care in depulping, fermenting from 8 to 12 hours, and drying the coffee in patios and drying beds.
The Exporter
Humberto collaborates with an export company called BICAFE, which operates a warehouse and dry-mill in Santa Rosa de Copan. Weather conditions in Santa Rosa are ideal for storing parchment and the dry-mill is specifically designed for sorting micro-lots. The partnership has helped to improve quality, increase earnings from coffee sales, and strengthen the family’s livelihood.
