Danilo Sanchez Natural - Honduras

Danilo Sanchez is a third-generation coffee farmer from El Paraíso, Honduras. He began as a young boy helping his father in the fields, and after inheriting his first plot of land in 2009, he has steadily built his work to cover five hectares of coffee cultivation. His passion for quality drives him forward despite tough conditions, such as a lack of labor and the effects of climate change.

Danilo produces coffee with both tradition and innovation – every step from harvest to drying is done with the utmost care. It is a passion he shares with his family, and every cup carries a piece of their work, hope, and future.

This batch is exclusively selected by **Semilla Coffee** – a player who works closely with producers to create long-term partnerships focused on openness, sustainability, and quality.

The coffee is roasted by Swedish **Swerl Coffee Roasters**, who with skill and respect for the soil and the producer’s work bring out every nuance in the cup. The result is an expressive coffee with character and depth, conveying both place and person.

1. Origin & variety

This coffee is grown in Delicias, El Paraíso – a fertile region in southeastern Honduras – on Danilo Sanchez's farm *Los Cedro*. The Parainema variety is known for its resilience and its tropical flavor notes.

2. Process

After careful handpicking, the coffee cherries undergo anaerobic fermentation for 50 hours in tightly sealed plastic bags. They are then dried for 20–25 days under a plastic cover that protects against moisture and temperature changes. This creates a clean, strong, and fruity flavor profile.

3. Roasting & brewing

Roasted by **Swerl Coffee Roasters** in Sweden with precision and respect for the raw material. It is optimized for filter brewing – whether you use V60, Aeropress, or batch brewers – and offers great aroma, clear fruitiness, and elegant structure.
