Honduras Alba Marina

Highlights

“Alva Marina Alvarado is a second-generation coffee producer located in El Cedral, Las Vegas, Santa Barbara, Honduras. Her farm, Finca La Sierra, spans 0.9 hectares at 1,400 m.a.s.l. Here she focuses exclusively on the Parainema variety. Marina's processing follows meticulous standards: cherries are depulped each afternoon, dry-fermented for 24 hours, washed four times with abundant water, and dried for 15-22 days in a parabolic solar dryer with continuous hand-sorting throughout the drying phase. Her coffee journey began in childhood working alongside her father, and the true transformation came in 2017 when she began transitioning to specialty coffee production.”
