About: Proud Mary's connection to the Santa Barbara region of Honduras began all the way back in 2012 when we were introduced to a small group of producers situated around the town of Peña Blanca, close to the shores of the stunning Lake Yojoa. More than a decade later, that group of producers has grown in number, and our relationships have deepened. Nahun was one of the first producers we ever started working with. Back then, he grew traditional varieties and only used the washed method. Today, he is a processing master and has become a leader in his community by sharing all the techniques he has learnt. The coffee quality produced in the Las Flores community has improved. Nahun has placed in the Cup of Excellence competition three times, each was with some version of his Parainema. His honey process was the first. It’s exciting and juicy with notes of plum, peach, and florals.
