Honduras, Nueva Esperanza, David Muñoz

David Muñoz has been around coffee since he was born, a tradition passed on by his grandfather, Feliciano Muñoz. David’s farm, Nueva Esperanza, is snugly situated on the slopes of the Santa Barbara mountains overlooking Lake Yojoa. This area of the mountain, El Cielito, is home to farms that consistently produce award-winning coffees, including in 2012, when David was included among the winners of the Top 10 Cup Of Excellence.

This natural-processed coffee from Honduras comes from David Muñoz's Nueva Esperanza lot, grown in the Santa Barbara mountains at El Cielito. Sightglass Coffee brings this coffee to market, working with a producer known for meticulous farming practices in one of Honduras's premier coffee regions.

Natural-process coffees tend to showcase heavier fruit-forward and fermented character compared to washed preparations, and this lot reflects those processing tendencies. The Santa Barbara mountains provide elevation and climate conditions that shape the coffee's development.
