Region: Las Flores, Santa Barbara Elevation: 1700 masl About: Proud Mary's connection to the Santa Barbara region of Honduras began back in 2012 when we were introduced to a small group of producers situated around the town of Peña Blanca, near the shores of the stunning Lake Yojoa. More than a decade later, that group has grown, and our relationships have deepened. Ovi dio Go me z was among the members of that initial group. A man of few words, Ovi dio ’s gruff exterior—often with a machete in hand—belies a passionate soul who cares deeply for the land and his community. His coffees have developed quite a following among our staff and regular customers, with each new incarnation eagerly anticipated year after year. This lot comes from Ovi dio ’s newest farm, Los Gomitos . When he purchased Los Gomitos , large sections of the farm had been abandoned by the previous owner. After years of hard work , the farm is becoming more and more productive. This year’s lot does not disappoint, boasting plenty of sugary sweetness, a creamy bodyBodyThe weight and texture of coffee in the mouth, from tea-like and delicate to syrupy and heavy.
