BENJAMIN PAZ
ON COMMUNITY
One of our owners, Kyle, first met Benjamin back in 2015 through a mutual friend (Kevin Bohlin, the mastermind behind Saint Frank Coffee in San Francisco - we can't recommend them enough!). Benjamin's mission to help roasters buy high-grown, single-producer, and (often) single-variety lots from the Santa Barbara region of Honduras has resulted in a beautiful and fruitful relationship with us, and we are so honored to call him one of our dearest friends in coffee.
ON QUALITY
We aren't the only ones who hold Benjamin in such high esteem - he's one of the most renown producers in Honduras, and it can be kinda tough to get your hands on one of his immaculately processed lots from La Salsa. For this release, we have the rare and unique privilege of offering not one, but FOUR lots, from Benjamin's harvest this year. Three of these coffees came from the same SL28 crop, and they were processed three different ways: washed, honey, and natural. The fourth lot - endearingly named, "Salad" - is a washed field blend of Gesha and SL28 varieties that came about as somewhat of an accident - more on that in just a bit.
