A rare honey-process Typica from the highlands of Comayagua, Honduras — sourced through our direct partnership with fifth-generation producer Nelson Raul Amador.

The Story

Grown in the misty highlands of La Sampedrana, Comayagua, Honduras, this exceptional coffee comes from the farm of fifth-generation producer Nelson Raul Amador — a producer whose roots in coffee run as deep as the rich soil beneath his feet. At an elevation of 1,750 meters, these Typica plants thrive in the cool mountain air and mineral-rich soils of the Comayagua region, one of Honduras’ most celebrated growing areas.

Nelson Raul’s careful approach to the honey process — leaving part of the fruit’s natural mucilage on the bean as it dries — helps create a naturally sweet and layered cup. Notes of chocolate, honey, peach, and tropical fruit make this coffee expressive and approachable, with a balance of rich sweetness and clean fruit character. As a pour-over, it highlights its juicy fruit notes and honey-like sweetness; as espresso, it becomes round, sweet, and silky.

The story of this coffee begins in the early 1900s, when two brothers set out to cultivate coffee in the highlands of Comayagua. More than a century later, their legacy continues through over 22 family members who still actively farm the same land. Odysea co-founder Francisco Galeano and Nelson Raul have built a close friendship over the years — visiting the farm together several times a year and working side by side to handpick the exceptional microlots that make their way into your cup. This coffee is a reflection of that trust, friendship, and shared commitment to quality that begins long before the roast.
