Qianjie-introduction of Santa Barbara Orchard Farm in Honduras

Honduras Champion Manor Orchard Farm La Huerta

The owner of the orchard farm (La Huerta) is George Lanza (Jorge Lanza). George and his wife Maria have grown coffee for 30 years, but in the past it was grown in the lower elevations of Santa Barbara and the coffee was not particularly outstanding. In 2010, in pursuit of higher quality, the couple bought a high-altitude orchard farm in the famous Las Flores village, between 1600 and 1800 meters above sea level, the Santa Barbara Super Cup Champion settlement area with pleasant scenery and excellent microclimate, overlooking Yojoa Lake from the mountain.

The Santa Barbara Mountains are rich in insects, fish, birds and animals, full of primeval forests and the source of Yojoa Lake at the foot of the mountain. Lanza and his wife bought a 20-hectare farm to grow different kinds of beans, such as Catuai, Pacas, Bourbon, Pacamara and so on. During the harvest season, there will be 30 household workers to help with the harvest, processing, drying and screening. Drying is the natural sun on an African-style elevated shed bed.

In 2012, the orchard farm had its first harvest, and they participated in the extraordinary Cup, but they didn't even pass the domestic judges. But that year, world champion Sasa Sestic went to Honduras to look for raw beans. On the last day of the cup test, he found George Lanza's coffee very much. Although it was only his first harvest, he was impressed by the outstanding flavor. Sasa not only bought the batch, but also encouraged George to continue to participate in the extraordinary Cup.

No one expected that Kaduai, the second harvest of the orchard farm, won the championship with a record-breaking score of 92.75 in the 2013 extraordinary Cup the following year.

Since 2012, Ona has continued to assist Wota in improving the quality of coffee, conducting more experiments and controls from harvesting, sugar testing, drying procedures, hoping to improve the cup test score and challenge the limits of extraordinary cups.
