Norman-san’s Pacas from Santa Barbara, Honduras!

This coffee was originally released as a subscription exclusive, but we’re now offering a small quantity for general release.

It features a pleasant fruitiness reminiscent of apricot and yellow fruits, with a smooth, silky texture. The finish carries a rounded, umami-like depth, somewhat reminiscent of gyokuro green tea.

It’s not about standout or flashy flavors—instead, what makes this coffee special is the beautiful flow from the first sip to the lasting aroma after you swallow. It’s the kind of cup you find yourself finishing before you even realize it.

Personally, this is the kind of coffee I’d want to drink every day- the kind that gently sinks in and warms you from within.

Highly recommended.

Norman-san was born into a coffee-producing family, and from a young age he spent his time playing on the farm. By the age of 12, he was already helping his father cultivate both coffee and vegetables.
At 25, he inherited a 0.5-hectare plot of land from his father and started his own farm. About 10 years ago, he purchased an additional 0.5 hectares, where he planted Pacas coffee.
In 2013, his father and older brother began working with specialty coffee processing, and Norman-san took on responsibility for the processing and drying stages. As his father’s right-hand, he played a key role in preparing microlots.
Seven years ago, after properly establishing his own farm, Norman-san achieved his first high-quality harvest and began producing specialty coffee as his own microlots. Since then, he has continued to focus on maintaining and improving quality, while also supporting his father’s farm.

Cherries are hand-picked at peak ripeness and transported to Norman-san’s wet mill, where they are pulped. They then undergo a 22-hour dry fermentation in concrete tanks.
After fermentation, water is added, and the beans are stirred with wooden paddles while the water is replaced up to five times to completely remove the mucilage.
The coffee is then dried on raised beds for around 15 days. During the drying process, defects are removed by hand.
