Nelson Ramirez, from Santa Barbara, Honduras
Nelson Ramirez is a 46-year-old coffee producer located in El Cielito, Santa Barbara, Honduras. His farm, Finca Androz, spans 16 hectares at 1,550 m.a.s.l., with 5 hectares of natural reserve. Here, he grows Pacas (40%), Parainema (30%), and Catuai (30%) varieties.
Nelson begins his Washed process by depulping cherries daily after picking, then dry-fermenting the parchment for 22 hours. The coffee is washed four times with abundant water, pre-dried on concrete patios for 2 days, and then finish drying in parabolic dryers for approximately 14 days, with continuous hand-sorting throughout to remove defects.
From Agronomist to Specialty Producer
Nelson is a third-generation coffee producer who grew up helping his father and grandfather on their farms. At 18, he left to study agronomy, graduating four years later and then worked for a food industry company. Despite his career, he longed to own and work on a coffee farm.
In 2007, he heard from a friend that a property in the El Cielito village was for sale, and immediately he saw its potential for quality coffee. Nelson bought it on the spot, and spent the year rejuvenating the plants. By 2009, with guidance from Angel Paz and Beneficio San Vicente, he produced his first specialty micro-lot… and the rest is history.
We connected with Nelson through Beneficio San Vicente, have been working with his coffees since 2025. We are excited to showcase his efforts and continue building this relationship!
