About: Mr Benjamin Paz is as crazy and inquisitive as we are here at Proud Mary. He spearheads the Beneficio San Vicente operation in Pena Blanca, Honduras and supports producers by helping them improve their quality, yields, and connecting them with direct trade buyers. Whistles, waves, head nods, “MINCHO!” is yelled from the streets as he cruises through the mountainous slopes of Santa Barbara. He is a man with a big heart. The Catuai variety is a hybrid between the highly productive Mundo Novo and compact Caturra varieties. Benjamin has processed his Catuai via the natural method, increasing sweetness and body.
