From our pals at The Coffee Quest:
Beneficio San Vicente is located in the department of Santa Barbara in Honduras, near Lake Yojoa (the only lake in Honduras!). Working as a hub for Specialty Coffee in the country, this is not your typical exporting outlet. The company specializes in not only SHG Communal Lots but also regional Communal Lots and Single-Farm Micro-Lots. They work primarily with farmers who have an average of 3 Ha of coffee and grow the following varieties: Pacas, Catuai, Parainema, Bourbon, IHCAFE90, and Lempira.
Farmers that contribute to their SHG Communal Lots typically process Washed coffees; the cherries are de-pulped, fermented in open tanks for approximately 16 hours, and then washed and dried either in traditional greenhouse structures for 1-2 weeks or in mechanical dryers.
