We are excited to present you Danilo Sanchez's lot, a sweet and syrupy coffee sourced through Semilla that supports producers in the area.

Danilo Sánchez began growing coffee 15 years ago, when he was a young man who helped his father on the coffee plots his family-owned. Learning the craft from him until in 2009 his father passed down a plot of land to him. Danilo planted his first coffee plants, and with his initial earnings, he reinvested to expand his crops, to the five hectares he has now.

Danilo is the third generation of coffee growers in his family. For them, coffee growing is a tradition handed down generation to generation. He grows coffee not only out of tradition but also out of genuine passion and love for coffee. Each year, Danilo's family strives to produce high-quality coffee for others to enjoy. However, labour shortages present a significant challenge; each season, they face uncertainty over whether they will have enough workers to harvest their crops. Climate change also adds to the difficulties, affecting their yields and cultivation practices.

Danilo also extends his gratitude to those who buy their coffee, recognizing how crucial their support is for his family’s livelihood. Coffee cultivation has provided them with what he and his family need, but Danilo’s long-term goal is to keep his plots in excellent, productive condition.

Cherries are harvested at peak ripeness and then undergo a 50-hour anaerobic fermentation in sealed plastic bags. After being de-pulped, coffee undergoes a 38-hour dry fermentation. Then it dries for 20 to 25 days under sunlight with a plastic cover to regulate the temperature.

Det här kaffet kommer från Danilo Sánchez och hans familj i Delicias, El Paraíso, Honduras. Danilo är tredje generationens kaffebonde och har odlat kaffe sedan ung ålder tillsammans med sin far. År 2009 fick han överta sin första jordlott, där han planterade de första egna kaffebuskarna. Idag odlar han på fem hektar, driven av både tradition och en genuin kärlek till kaffe.

Kaffet är av sorten Parainema och har genomgått en 50 timmar lång anaerob jäsning, vilket bidrar till dess djupa sötma och komplexa fruktighet. Vi köper det här lotet genom Semilla, en aktör som stöttar producenter i området och fokuserar på hållbar direkt handel.

Danilo uttrycker stor tacksamhet till alla som köper hans kaffe – varje kopp gör skillnad för hans familjs framtid. Det här är ett kaffe som förmedlar både passion, hantverk och hopp.

1. Ursprunget

Kaffet odlas av Danilo Sánchez på gården Los Cedro i El Paraíso, Honduras, på mellan 1 350 och 1 500 meters höjd. Danilo har byggt upp sin odling från grunden och fortsätter varje år att förbättra kvaliteten trots utmaningar som klimatförändringar och brist på arbetskraft.

2. Skörd & bearbetning

Bären plockas vid optimal mognad och genomgår sedan en 50 timmar lång anaerob jäsning i slutna plastpåsar. Därefter avpulpas bären och fermenteras torrt i ytterligare 38 timmar, innan de torkas långsamt i 20–25 dagar under plastskyddat solljus för temperaturkontroll.

3. Rostning

Kaffet är rostat för filter, med fokus på att bevara den sirapslika sötman, blodapelsinens fräschör och de tropiska tonerna. Resultatet är en rik och balanserad kopp med lång, behaglig eftersmak.
