Let me introduce you to La Esmeralda, the newest addition to the De La Finca Project Farm family, nestled in the Comayagua region of Honduras. Acquired in 2021, this farm serves as a hub for experimental processing, particularly in Central America.

Located in the under-promoted area of La Sampedrama, Comayagua, La Esmeralda boasts high altitudes, volcanic soil, and a vibrant local culture. With a focus on quality and consistency, we're excited to explore larger experimental specialty lots, featuring varietals like geisha, pink bourbon, and parainema in the coming years.

La Esmeralda is already proving to be a rewarding project for De La Finca, and we're thrilled to partner with them on this exciting journey. You can enjoy La Esmeralda in our shops as a single-origin offering, whether brewed as pour-over or espresso. And for those looking to bring a piece of the experience home, we highly recommend trying it out for your home brewing setup.
