## What the Brand Says

> Region: Concepcion del Sur, Santa Barbara Elevation: 1650 – 1850 masl About: In addition to his work at Beneficio San Vicente (his family's business), Benjamin is also a coffee producer in his own right. His farm, Finca La Salsa, is planted with varieties not typically associated with Honduras, including Panamanian Geisha and SL-28. Located on the high slopes around Lake Yojoa, La Salsa is often shrouded in a dense layer of mist. This unique micro-climate means temperatures are generally kept pretty low, and the coffee trees are protected from too much direct sunlight. These factors slow down cherry maturation, resulting in a super sweet cup profile. The story of Panamanian Geisha in Santa Barbara will forever be tied to Proud Mary. During various visits, Proud Mary founder Nolan Hirte brought seeds from some of the most famous farms in Panama. This means that Benjamin's Geisha comes from the same genetic lineage as the best Geishas in the world. Since 2021, Benjamin has placed in the top 5 every year in the Honduras Cup of Excellence competition, with his washed Geisha from La Salsa. Claimed 1st place with this anaerobic washed Geisha in both 2022 and 2024.
