Processing Detail Jacobo Mártinez Sánchez produced this micro-lot on a 10-acre farm called La Laguna located in the community La Alondra within the Gualcince municipality in the department of Lempira, Honduras. Jacobo uses his own micro-mill to process harvested cherries, which allows for meticulous care in depulping, fermenting for 12 hours, and drying the coffee in patios and drying beds. The Exporter Jacobo 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.
