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).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYoro is a historically underrepresented coffee growing region in Honduras.

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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Commonplace Coffee","offers":[{"title":"8oz","offer_id":52098156626167,"sku":null,"price":21.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/4731\/3911\/files\/Finca_El_Pajarital_Yoro_web_8oz.png?v=1793912015","url":"https:\/\/commonplacecoffee.com\/products\/finca-el-pajarital-honduras","provider":"Commonplace Coffee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
