Honduras Caballero Marcala är ett något mörkare mellanrostat kaffe med tydlig ton av cognac och aprikos. Passar även utmärkt som espresso. Marysabel Caballero and her husband, Moises Herrera, are 2nd and 3rd generation coffee farmers. They have been awarded for their commitment to developing quality coffee in Honduras several times. We have known the family since mid 2000, while Nordic Approach started buying coffee from them in 2012. Marysabel´s father, Don Fabio Caballero, inherited large areas of land in and around Marcala from his father, who was one of the pioneers of coffee cultivation in Honduras. Marcala is located in the South East of Honduras. After many years of poor profits, he decided to pass his land down to his children; to his daughter Marysabel and her husband, especially. Moises brought his own farms into the family business as well, and together, they own almost 200 hectares of cultivated land, separated into 17 different farms. Their farms have a clay-like soil, and their main cultivar is Catuai. They also cultivate other varieties like Java, Pacamara, and Geishas. The areas the farms are located in generally have wet and windy conditions. Some farms have shade, while others do not. There is a mix of flat plateaus and hillsides, with moderate to steep inclines.
