PEACH | MANDARIN | JASMINE
Benjamin Paz is a multiple time Cup of Excellence winner, taking first place with his coffees in 2022 and 2024. Along with producing his own coffee at his farm La Salsa, Benjamin also runs his family exporting business, Beneficio San Vicente, and Dune has worked with Benjamin for the past ten years.
La Salsa is located on the Santa Bárbara mountain of Honduras, which towers over neighboring Lake Yojoa. Here, the rainforest and proximity to water create a unique microclimate, where the Geisha variety thrives amidst these high elevations on the farm. Benjamin then processes this coffee using an anaerobic washed process, which requires careful input and control to yield good results, but when done right as with this coffee, amplifies the fruity character of this coffee while preserving the floral flavors and silky textures of the Geisha variety grown in the Santa Bárbara terroir.
Benjamin’s Geisha reminds us of sweet stonefruit and vibrant citrus, with aromatic floral qualities like jasmine and honeysuckle.
