Arianita - Santa Bárbara, Honduras

About This Coffee

Tasting notes: Sweet and elegant. Milk chocolate on fragrance. Taste of caramel, red berries and citrus. Along the steep mountain ridges of Los Andes, coffee plants grow in step with wild nature. Here, Kelvin Pineda cultivates award-winning specialty coffee, with a hand on the entire value chain. Kelvin Pineda’s journey in the coffee industry began in childhood, working alongside his father, who also tended to vegetable crops. Following his father's tragic accident in 2010, Kelvin shifted to vegetable farming for immediate financial stability to support his family. However, in 2017, he seized an opportunity to return to coffee farming by purchasing land from his father-in-law and starting his Arianita farm, reigniting his passion for coffee.
