01THE INTERVIEW
“We ferment for ninety hours and hope somebody notices. Now the chemistry is on the record before the gavel falls.”
— RODRIGO ESPINAL, FINCA SAN AUGUSTIN
Q.Tell us about the farm.
A meticulous estate in Copan, Honduras known for clean separations — each block picked, processed and rested as its own lot.
Q.What are you sending to the auction?
Catuai, sarchimor, washed process, grown at 1800–1800 m. Classic washed SHB profile: milk chocolate, red apple and caramel. A dependable, sweet everyday-plus cup.
Q.Who do you hope wins it?
A roaster who will put the farm's name on the bag and come back next season — the point of selling on evidence is building relationships that outlast one harvest.
