At just 25 years old, Lila Doris Fúnez Rodríguez represents a new generation of Honduran coffee producers, blending family tradition with innovation. Raised in a coffee-growing family in San Sebastián, Comayagua, she learned from an early age that coffee is more than a crop; it is a way of life built on dedication, teamwork, and continuous improvement. Inspired by her brother Ariel, Lila joined her parents and siblings in founding Coffee Fúnez, a family association dedicated to producing exceptional specialty coffee while protecting the environment.
Lila's pride and joy is Finca Los Pinos, a one-hectare farm located at 2,100 meters above sea level. Benefiting from the unique microclimates of the Comayagua highlands, the farm is planted with Parainema, Pacamara, Lempira, and Typica beneath the shade of native trees that promote biodiversity and healthy soils. She relies on organic fertilizers made from composted coffee pulp and animal by-products, while carefully managing every stage of processing and drying. The result is a collection of washed, honey, natural, and anaerobic natural coffees that consistently score between 86 and 88 points.
Over the past two harvests, Lila has continued investing in both quality and sustainability. She expanded her knowledge of processing techniques with a particular focus on anaerobic naturals, implemented soil analysis and targeted fertilization, completed coffee cupping training to strengthen quality control, and improved canopy management, shade regulation, and processing infrastructure. She has also introduced new coffee varieties, helping prepare the farm for future harvests while maintaining the family's commitment to environmentally responsible production.
The 2025–2026 harvest brought both successes and challenges. Despite labor shortages, difficult drying conditions, and rising production costs, Lila and her family adapted by building temporary housing for seasonal workers and relocating coffee to drier areas during processing to preserve quality. Their hard work paid off with increased exports while maintaining the consistency and cup quality that define Coffee Fúnez.
Although production remains relatively small, Lila is focused on building lasting relationships with roasters who value transparency, craftsmanship, and long-term partnerships. Looking ahead, she hopes to expand production with additional specialty varieties, continue growing exports, and one day compete in the Cup of Excellence Honduras. Every coffee from Finca Los Pinos reflects her family's shared vision, resilience, and dedication to producing exceptional Honduran coffee.

Finca La Esperanza is a family-owned farm nestled on the slopes of Laguna Verde Mountain in western El Salvador. This region’s rich volcanic soil and cool mountain climate create ideal conditions for producing high-quality coffees.
The name La Esperanza, Spanish for “hope”, captures the spirit of this farm. It symbolizes the union of the Magaña and Menéndez families, two coffee-growing lineages who began working together generations ago with the shared dream of building a thriving coffee legacy. Today, that legacy lives on through Gustavo and Enrique Magaña, fifth and sixth generation coffee producers who now manage the farm with passion and precision.
Finca La Esperanza is one of four family farms that have been in operation since the 1890s. Beyond its deep roots, the farm also plays a vital role in its community where it employs about 20 people year-round and up to 120 workers during the harvest season.
Every lot undergoes three rounds of selective hand-picking to ensure only the ripest cherries are chosen. The coffee is then taken to the family’s nearby San Ramon mill for processing. There, it’s washed and patio-dried using a traditional yet carefully controlled method that includes a unique step: as humidity decreases, the layers of coffee on the drying patios are thickened. This thoughtful adjustment helps protect the seeds from scorching in the sun and ensures a more even, consistent dry.
The result is a beautiful cup that reflects both the flavor potential of the region and the dedication of the people behind it. This coffee is a testament to generations of expertise, innovation, and the hope that defines Finca La Esperanza.

Coffee has been at the heart of Jesús Mariano Nolasco's life since 1986. Learning the craft from his father, Don Mariano discovered that producing exceptional coffee requires discipline, consistency, and a deep respect for the land. Coffee not only allowed him to complete his own education, but also gave him the opportunity to provide the same future for his children. Today, every member of the family plays an active role at Gosen Coffee, making it a true family enterprise built on shared passion and hard work.
Nestled at 1,370 meters above sea level in the mountains of Honduras, Finca Gosen spans approximately 25 manzanas, with 17 to 18 manzanas planted in coffee. The farm cultivates a diverse range of varieties, including Catuaí, Parainema, Anacafé 14, Icatu, Geisha, Lempira, and IHCAFE 90.
Quality is the foundation of everything at Finca Gosen. After each harvest, Don Mariano renovates coffee blocks, prunes trees, and continually improves his production practices to enhance both cup quality and farm health. During the 2025–2026 harvest, the farm produced approximately 300 quintals of coffee, with its highest-scoring lots reaching an impressive 90 points.
Like many coffee producers, Don Mariano has faced the challenges of changing weather patterns, rising production costs, and labor shortages. Rather than compromise quality, he invested in mechanized weed management and expanded the farm's agroforestry system by planting more than 300 shade trees, strengthening the resilience and sustainability of the farm for years to come.
Through his partnership with the Honduran Coffee Alliance, Don Mariano has expanded access to specialty markets while remaining focused on building long-term relationships based on trust, transparency, and quality. His goal is to market more than half of his harvest as specialty coffee, ensuring that the family legacy he has built over nearly four decades continues to thrive. Every lot from Finca Gosen reflects that commitment to coffee shaped by experience, careful stewardship, and passion.
