Honduras-San Isidro Natural, Katia Duke

This lot of Catuai and Obatá green coffee underwent Natural processing. Copán is one of the six major coffee growing regions in Honduras. In the northwest mountains of the country, along Honduras’ border with Guatemala, coffee in Copán is grown on farms with elevation ranges from 1000–1500 meters above sea level.

Katia Duke's San Isidro farm is found in a dry and dusty area only a fifteen minute drive from the town of Ruinas de Copán in Copán Department, Honduras. The farm has been in Katia's family for generations, producing coffee in the traditional way and selling parchment to local intermediaries. She spent most of her youth on the farm before studying agronomy at the prestigious Zamorano Pan-American Agricultural School. Now, after years of hard work, Katia has developed a strong team at San Isidro built around the principle of mutual respect among everyone. Katia has not only been able to achieve goals as a coffee producer and develop relationships with roasters, she has also been able to grow into being a leader in her community.
