Wholesale Tres Pinos, Honduras: Santa Lucia Reserve - 12oz

Raul Rodriguez is a third-generation coffee producer - the son of Don Ermenegildo Rodriguez, whose vision for specialty coffee would influence generations of farmers in the region. Ample rain, rich clay soil, and high altitude make for healthy coffee plants and beautiful ripe cherries, and a clear dry season allows producers like Rodriguez to sun-dry the coffees after the washing process. In the highest altitudes of his land, Raul can be found growing new varietals such as Ovata and Pacamara. Always striving for both better quality coffee and greater quality of life for his workers, Raul pays his workers the highest salaries in the region and has chosen to donate a portion of his profits this year to help rebuild the local school which needs electricity and a kitchen. Raul is the grandfather of Nelson Amador - founder and owner of De La Finca Coffee Importers.
