EL JARDIN GESHA | HONDURAS

Finca El Jardin is located in the community of Ojos de Agua, Concepción de Soluteca, La Paz, Honduras, and is managed by Mario Mejia, a 26 year old, agronomist and fourth-generation coffee grower. The farm consists of 32 hectares of land, sits at an elevation of 1,650 m.a.s.l, and boasts around 100,000 coffee trees in production of the Catuai, Pacas, IHCAFE90, Pacamara, Parainema, Gesha and a few special exotics he hopes to have in production in the coming years.

For the Gesha Washed lot, the coffee is handpicked and selected, before being de-pulped in the afternoon. The coffee is then fermented for around 50-70 hours, washed and then laid to dry in African beds, and depending on the weather and process, can take between 15 and 30 days (due to the cold/elevation!).
