Prodigal Coffee

Las Virginias — 2026 Cup of Excellence Honduras #4

From Fabio Antonio Caballero's Las Virginias farm in Marcala, Honduras, this 2026 Cup of Excellence #4 winner (Exotic category) showcases what a rising star can achieve in just six years of farming. The 48-hour anaerobic fermentation—preceded by 16 hours of aerobic oxidation and followed by careful washing—amplifies the ripe cherry brightness into vivid mango and rhubarb notes with a complex rum-raisin depth. Geisha and Pacamara varieties shine through with intensity and balance. At 100g portions, this auction-winning coffee delivers exceptional complexity without breaking the bank.
