The story

This coffee is produced by Bryan Bautista, a third-generation coffee producer in Marcala, La Paz Department, Honduras. Coming from a family dedicated to coffee cultivation for over 40 years, he took over the family farm after completing his university studies.

The production originates from Finca Adolfo's, located in the community of Musula, at an elevation of 1,640 meters, in the heart of the Marcala terroir. The farm boasts a history of approximately 50 years in coffee production.

The Parainema varietal is among those currently cultivated on the farm, alongside other profiles progressively developed by Bryan since the property's handover, which was initially planted exclusively with Lempira.

This lot 104H is processed using the washed method. Bryan also employs other processing methods on the farm (honey and natural) with a focus on quality control at every stage.

The finca spans 38 productive manzanas (approximately 26 hectares) and includes 1 manzana of protected forest, which preserves a natural clear water source, maintained as a nature reserve.

Bryan Adolfo Bautista Zelaya was born in October 1994 in Marcala, La Paz department, Honduras. He comes from a third-generation coffee farming family, whose history began with his grandparents, involved for over 40 years in coffee cultivation. This passion and expertise were then passed down to his father, before being perpetuated by Bryan.

The Finca Adolfo’s bears a name rich in meaning: it pays homage to the three generations sharing the same first name, grandfather Adolfo, father Adolfo, and Bryan Adolfo. This choice symbolizes family continuity and a shared commitment to producing quality coffees. The farm is located in the community of Musula, Marcala, at an altitude of 1,640 meters, in an area renowned for its coffee-growing potential.

The property boasts approximately 50 years of coffee history. After completing his university studies, Bryan's parents entrusted him with the farm, offering him the opportunity to develop his own operation while continuing the family tradition. At that time, only the Lempira variety was cultivated. Gradually, Bryan diversified the plantings to meet the expectations of the specialty coffee market and elevate quality standards. Today, the finca cultivates a wide range of varieties: Yellow and Red Catuai, Yellow and Red Bourbon, Pacamara, Parainema, Gesha, and Lempira.

The farm spans 38 productive manzanas (approximately 26 hectares) and also includes 1 manzana of protected forest, preserving a natural source of clear water. This area is maintained as a natural reserve, reflecting Bryan's commitment to environmental balance and sustainable production.

Regarding post-harvest processing, Bryan works with several methods: washed, honey, and natural. He also conducts experiments in anaerobic fermentation, with the goal of developing more complex, sweeter, and more distinctive flavor profiles, while enhancing the overall quality of his coffees.

Through Finca Adolfo’s, Bryan Bautista embodies a new generation of coffee producers, combining family heritage, varietal diversification, and a qualitative pursuit, with an approach that respects his environment and is geared towards specialty coffee.
