INTRO
Finca El Itacayo is one of Honduras' most internationally recognised specialty coffee farms. Led by Ángel Arturo Paz Ramírez, the project is built on three pillars: quality, sustainability, and traceability. At 1,600 metres in the lush highlands of Santa Bárbara, Arturo cultivates Geisha, Pacas, SL-28, and Bourbon under natural shade — a deliberately diverse portfolio that speaks to his long-term vision for the farm.
El Itacayo has achieved high scores at the Cup of Excellence Honduras and exports its microlots to specialty markets worldwide, earning Arturo a reputation as one of the country's most dedicated and technically accomplished producers.
THE PRODUCER
Arturo's approach to farming at El Itacayo reflects a harmony between tradition and innovation. Natural shade management protects local forests, water sources, and biodiversity, whilst his precise harvesting and post-harvest protocols consistently deliver exceptional cup scores. His investment in a solar house dryer and meticulous temperature control during drying exemplify the level of care that has earned El Itacayo its international standing. This is specialty coffee grown with a clear conscience and an exacting eye for quality.
THE PROCESS
The Washed process at Finca El Itacayo involves:
- 🍒 Selective Harvesting & Hand Sorting — Only perfectly ripe cherries are picked; a careful hand selection before pulping ensures only the finest fruit enters the process.
- 🔧 Pulping — Cherries are pulped the same afternoon as picking.
- 🧪 Barrel Fermentation — Pulped beans ferment in plastic barrels.
- 💧 Tank Washing — Coffee is transferred to stainless steel tanks and thoroughly washed to remove all mucilage.
- ☀️ Solar House Drying — Coffee dries on raised beds inside a solar house dryer, with temperature carefully maintained below 40°C throughout.
- 🌡️ Moisture Targeting — Drying continues until ideal moisture of 10% is achieved.
- 📅 Resting & Packing — Coffee rests overnight before packing in nylon bags with GrainPro liners to preserve stable humidity.
The result is a clean, expressive Pacas that fully reflects the altitude and care of El Itacayo.
THE CUP
A warmly approachable washed Honduras with stone fruit sweetness at its core. Cinnamon spice weaves through the mid-palate, whilst sugar cane brings a natural, unrefined sweetness to the finish — a satisfying and comforting cup of considerable quality.
