This is our first year purchasing coffee from Finca El Pajarital via Cima Cafe.
In February of 2026 - Commonplace Coffee’s Head of Coffee, Vikki Harris, was an international judge for a coffee competition in Yoro, Honduras called YorExpo. This competition was put together by our very good friends at Cima Cafe, with the express purpose of: shining a light on the astronomical potential these producers have to cultivate and process exceptional coffees. Here, we were introduced to some of the best coffees that the region of Yoro has to offer, and we also made purchasing commitments to 4 of the coffees that placed in the top 10 of the competition! This lot from Finca El Pajarital placed 7th in YorExpo (Vikki was lucky enough to visit Finca El Pajarital the day before YorExpo took place).
Yoro is a historically underrepresented coffee growing region in Honduras. When specialty coffee companies look to purchase high-end coffee from Honduras, there are a few locations that are almost always top of mind: Santa Barbara and La Paz, Intibucá and Lempira, etc.. Yoro, as of now, is seen by most buyers as a place for quantity over quality.
Finca El Pajarital is a young and incredibly healthy coffee farm, overseen by Norma Yadira Cheverria Galindo and her husband, Samuel Garcia. With the support of IHCAFE (the Honduran Coffee Institute), Norma has organized and optimized how her farm is laid out and what varieties of coffee she grows. Norma and Samuel process and dry their coffee at their home mill, which consists of: a pulper fed by a handbuilt wooden hopper, dry fermentations done in GrainPro bags, a water tank for wet fermentations, and a small solar dryer with raised beds. Fun fact: at El Pajarital, there are fossil formations exposed from a time (millions of years ago) when Central America was completely underwater.
We selected this coffee to support the efforts of Cima Cafe in highlighting the quality that can be found in Yoro, as well as to support the great work of Norma and Samuel at Finca El Pajarital. For those that frequently enjoy Honduran coffees, this coffee's profile will be quite cozy and familiar. It is sweet with a mellow acidity, a juicy and full mouthfeel, with notes of fresh plum, cacao nibs, and candied nuts from brittle to praline.

Shipping Information
We operate and roast Monday-Friday and strive to ship your order within 2-4 business days (not including weekends). All items will ship together. Your order will be delivered by UPS or USPS to your door within 2-4 business days of the package being shipped. You will receive a tracking notification when your order ships.
Roasting Information
All coffee is roasted fresh to order on our Loring S35 Kestrel Coffee Roaster. All bags are stamped with the roast date, and we think coffee tastes best if consumed within 2-4 weeks. However, if left whole bean and stored in a cool, dry place away from sunlight, the coffee can remain enjoyable for up to 4-6 months, depending on the bag or container. Most of our coffee is roasted to a medium or light/medium roast level, except for All Day, which is our staple dark roast offering.
