Finca Las Buchanans, from La Paz, Honduras

Finca Las Buchanans is located in the community of San José, Guajiquiro, La Paz, Honduras, and is managed by Edis Joel Ávila. The farm sits at 1,760 m.a.s.l. in the Montecillos region. Here, Joel cultivates the elegant Bourbon Sidra variety.

This a traditional washed process lot. Cherries are hand‑picked at optimal ripeness and transported to the wet mill in plastic bags. After de-pulping, the coffee ferments in tanks for 10 to 12 hours to break down the mucilage. The beans are then washed three times with clean water to leave the parchment without any mucilage. Finally, the coffee is spread on raised beds, with careful monitoring, and sun‑dried for 12-16 days, depending on the weather.

A High‑Elevation Sanctuary

Joel Ávila’s journey in coffee began with a small plot inherited from his mother, who taught him love for the land and respect for agriculture.

Today, Joel combines his mother’s wisdom with a modern, meticulous approach to produce extraordinary micro-lots. Guajiquiro’s high elevation forces the Bourbon Sidra cherries to mature extremely slowly, resulting in perfect bean density.

This lot is brought to you by our exporting partners in Honduras, CONEXH (Corporación Exportadora de Café de Origen Natural de Honduras), a family‑owned company founded in 2021. They are on a mission to elevate Honduran coffee quality through sustainable farming practices while reducing agrochemical use and strengthening social impact in Honduras’ highlands.

We connected with Joel and CONEXH in 2024, and we are excited to showcase his coffees and build this relationship!
