Honduras Trip Report
One of our goals as a company is to develop meaningful long-term global partnerships when it comes to sourcing our coffee. My teammates and I have mainly worked in retail and roasting, with very limited first-hand learning opportunities for how coffee is sourced and processed. So we knew that it was essential that we make an origin trip early in the launch of our company to gain more of that experience and to set the stage for healthy sourcing relationships for years to come.
In coordination with Socii Coffee, Jenny, Chris, and I spent five days in the mountainous regions of the departments of Comayagua and La Paz in Honduras. We went with the primary goal of learning about coffee production and processing with the possibility of meeting some producers we could possibly source coffee from.
Bottom line: It was an AMAZING trip. It’s the first of many to come for Opo Coffee, and we look forward to cultivating these personal and business relationships in ways that are truly sustainable and mutually beneficial.
