This Pacamara variety coffee is grown by Mario Mejía at Finca El Jardin in the La Paz region of Honduras at an altitude of 1,650 meters. It is a washed process coffee that undergoes 50-70 hours of wet fermentation before being dried on African beds. The flavor profile is savory and sweet, featuring notes of agave, lemongrass, and tomatillo, with a sharp lemony tone and sweet green chile pepper aspects. As it cools, it develops a thicker body with wild berry and herbaceous sweetness.
Prestin Yoder founded Flower Child as a small roasting and green buying project after years working in specialty coffee. The operation runs out of Oakland, focusing on limited releases rather than a permanent lineup. Yoder roasts light but fully developed targeting clarity, and sources directly from farmers. The emphasis on farmer compensation and ongoing dialogue with producing partners shapes both the selection and the pricing. Coffees are curated for cleanliness, vibrancy, and origin expression, with lots from Ethiopia, Kenya, Burundi, Colombia, or Ecuador appearing frequently.
