Heber Avila
Producer Profile
Heber Hernán Ávila owns and operates his farm; Finca Las Moras, at 1,600 to 1,800 masl in Guajiquiro, La Paz, Honduras. Heber is a 39-year-old, third-generation producer. Both his father and grandfather were coffee producers, and while the farm is a family inheritance, Heber expanded Las Moras by acquiring neighbouring land. At 4.2 hectares, Las Moras is planted with IHCAFE 90 and Catimor, along with Sidra and Pacamara. Heber takes a sustainable approach to coffee production, ensuring nothing goes to waste and focusing on reducing the farm’s water consumption

La Paz
The department of La Paz is the most famous coffee growing region in Honduras. It also has the most developed specialty coffee infrastruce in the country, and is home to the Montañas de La Paz, which provide high altitudes.
Pacamara
A hybrid of Maragogype and Pacas originating in El Salvador. Pedigree selection has never been finalized and as such the variety is not stable from generation to generation. Nonetheless, Pacamara - known for its large seed size and exceptional quality potential - consistently dominates Cup of Excellence competitions. Unfortunately, Pacamara is highly susceptible to Coffee Leaf Rust.
Washed
Cherries are hand-picked, de-pulped on the same day and left to ferment in concrete tanks for 10 to 12 hours. The wet parchment is then washed and laid in thin layers to dry on raised beds, with constant movement every 30 to 40 minutes to ensure uniform drying – Usually taking up to 14 days, depending on the weather.
