Tim's notes

Batian is actually a Kenyan hybrid cultivar but this particular coffee was grown in Honduras by our friends Marysabel Caballero and Moises Herrera. Some years ago they planted a small amount of these trees and over the last years the quality has improved and the productivity has increased.

This particular lot is from a small lot they call la Laguna, which Marysabel and Moises planted inside an existing small forest surrounding a small lagune near their mill. They were inspired by our own farm project Finca el Suelo in Colombia and decided to plant this Batian inside the forest. Since the trees were planted they have only applied compost and avoided the use of fungicides and NPK fertilizers. Last year we decided to make it a test plot for the biological farming trials we are conducting with Biofilia. Wether our trials have an effect, we will have to wait and see in the coming year. but you can learn more about the project in our podcast episode number 43.

Although this is a Kenyan hybrid cultivar , it is far away from a Kenyan style coffee in the cup. This coffee also come from young trees so we assume they have not reached their full quality potential yet. I personally find it to have a beautiful violet like floral note with hints of red fruits and plums.
