Carbon negative coffee



Victorio Cruz’s farm, Jerusalén, is nestled in the municipality of Guajiquiro, about three hours from Marcala, where our direct trade partner Nancy Hernandez exports all of our Honduran microlots. The area is extremely remote and inaccessible by car, so much so that the processed coffee is actually transported on horseback. For 50 years and across three generations, Victorio’s family has been dedicated to producing high-quality coffee, preserving ancient varieties, and using organic practices to maintain their land. We are proud to showcase their coffee, and this year, we paid over double the market price for their specialty coffee, hoping they can continue thriving for the next 50 years.

This is our third year purchasing this anaerobic natural lot from Don Victorio, and we believe it’s the best harvest yet! This coffee boasts an extremely sweet and fruity profile, with notes of candied strawberry and green apple.

The anaerobic natural process really shines here—that red catuai and typica mix at 1,700 meters gives it a deep, syrupy sweetness I wasn't expecting from a bag at this price. Fermentation notes come through clean, no funky overdoing it, just a smooth, lingering finish that made my morning pour-over

Sebastian ★★★★★

That cup of Jerusalén from Victorio Cruz is a wild ride. I brewed it in my V60 and the anaerobic process gives it a fermented, almost boozy sweetness that I haven't tasted in a coffee from 1,700 masl before.

Jacob ★★★★★

The anaerobic natural process really shines through here—that red catuai and typica mix at 1,700 masl gives it this deep, fruity sweetness I wasn’t expecting. I’ve brewed it both on my drip machine and as a quick pour-over, and it’s been consistently smooth every single time. Definitely a bag I’ll b
