Ovidio Gomez (Los Gomitos)

Description

Proud Mary's connection to the Santa Barbara region of Honduras began all the way back in 2012 when we were introduced to a small group of producers situated around the town of Peña Blanca, close to the shores of the stunning Lake Yojoa. More than a decade later, that group of producers has grown in number, and our relationships have deepened. Ovidio “Machete” Gomez was among the members of that initial group. Ovidio is a man of few words, but hidden beneath his gruff exterior (often with a machete in hand), he is a passionate soul who cares deeply for the land and his community. This naturally processed Pacas is from the first production from Ovidio’s new farm, Los Gomitos. When we last visited, He'd only just purchased the farm, and he hadn't quite decided on a name. This coffee is loud and juicy, with plenty of fruit notes.
