From his farm La Montañita in the Santa Bárbara mountains, Evin Moreno continues to define what’s possible in Honduran coffee. This Pacas lot, grown under the shade of native trees and processed using Evin’s meticulous washed method, captures the clean, layered sweetness that has made his coffees stand out for years.
Evin’s approach to farming is rooted in patience and precision. Every harvest is selectively picked at peak ripeness, depulped the same day, and fermented in small tanks before being washed and patio-dried under controlled conditions. The result is a cup that speaks softly but with depth—balanced, fruit-forward, and transparent to its origin.
In the cup, we tasted brown sugar, honeydew, and marzipan bursting with melony sweetness and a delicate creamy finish.
This release is part of our ongoing relationship with the Moreno family, whose work has shaped the reputation of Santa Bárbara as one of Honduras’ most exciting coffee regions.
