This is a honey processed, single-variety microlot from producer Edwin Sabillón and his farm ‘El Plan’ in the village of Las Flores, Santa Barbara. Edwin Ever Sabillón Paz is a small producer from Las Flores, Santa Barbara department, in the region of Montecillos. Edwin has 1.75 hectares of land planted with the Catuai and Parainema varieties.
Edwin comes from a family of coffee producers and started out from a young age, helping his father on his farms during his spare time. In 2007 his father passed down 0.52ha of land to Edwin to start his own farm. The farm was planted with Catuai trees which Edwin harvested successfully for 3 years until, in 2011, the farm was hit by the extreme leaf rust outbreak that killed all of his plants. His neighbour Elogio Martinez recommended that Edwin try the Parainema variety due to its rust-resistance, while retaining high quality potential. In 2015 that same neighbour went on to win the Cup of Excellence, encouraging Edwin to pursue this varietal further and he hasn’t looked back since.
