Honduras - Jose Trancito Romero

Please note: All our single origin coffees are roasted to order, what this means is we will roast your single origin order on the next work day and will be shipped out the following work day. If you require it ground ie for plunger, then we would rest the coffee beans for a few days before grinding and shipping.

A delicious Honduras natural processed coffee from our friends at Opal.

Jose was 20 years old when he started working in coffee and now owns 1 hectare of land. Jose is a father of two where his daughter is blind and attends university, and his son is deaf and mute.

Coffee is their most important crop but the proceeds alone are not enough for Joses’ family of four, let alone supporting a family with disabilities and university expenses. To help with expenses, Jose and his family also grow tomatoes. An additional source of income is micro-lots, which is what Jose is focusing on, but income is not his only drive as coffee provides a source of pride and pleasure.

Here at Little Things Micro-Roastery we air roast coffee to give a cleaner, brighter taste with a smoother finish. We have two roast styles to choose from, an espresso focused roast giving more body to the coffee for your coffee machine and a filter focused roast giving more acidity to the coffee for your softer brew methods such as V60, clever dripper.

We would love any feedback to help fine tune our roasting recipe as we roast in small batches.
