Benjamin’s commitment to quality is matched only by his dedication to his community - supporting fellow producers and building something bigger than himself. In that same spirit, we’ve come together to celebrate this incredible coffee and the people behind it. In addition to his work at Beneficio San Vicente (his family's business), Benjamin is also a coffee producer in his own right. His farm, Finca La Salsa, is planted with varieties not typically associated with Honduras, including Panamanian Geisha and SL-28SL28A Kenyan variety selected in the 1930s by Scott Agricultural Laboratories, prized for intense blackcurrant acidity and deep sweetness.. Located on the high slopes around Lake Yojoa, La Salsa is often shrouded in a dense layer of mist. This unique micro-climate means temperatures are generally kept pretty low , and the coffee trees are protected from too much direct sunlight. These factors slow down cherry maturation, resulting in a super sweet cup profile. The story of Panamanian Geisha in Santa Barbara will forever be tied to Proud Mary. During various visits, Proud Mary founder Nolan Hirte brought seeds from some of the most famous farms in Panama. This means that Benjamin's Geisha comes from the same genetic lineage as the best Geishas in the world. Since 2021, Benjamin has placed in the top 5 every year in the Honduras Cup of Excellence competition, and he claimed 1 st place in 2022 and 2024 with his anaerobic washedAnaerobic fermentationCherries or depulped seeds ferment in sealed, oxygen-free tanks.
