Honduras MATA DE PLÁTANO
CUP PROFILE Floral and jasmine notes, green apple and caramel. Medium body, and a delicate acidity that enhances the stone fruit and red apple qualities.
ABOUT THIS COFFEE
Mata de Plátano translates to “plantain tree,” a frequent feature in the region of El Paraiso — which has produced high-quality coffees for years but is new to the Genuine Origin family.
At the beginning of the decade, it was one of the regions worst hit by leaf rust, and while the farms were devastated, the producers remained incredibly optimistic and proud. Our team in Honduras describes them as “shining as brightly as their coffees” and absolutely determined to make El Paraiso a must-have for specialty coffee roasters.
The coffees of El Paraiso feature beautiful floral notes and delicate acidities, as well as a touch of dark chocolate. Our team created this lot to showcase its bright, fresh, almost sparkling flavors.
Most producers have their own wet mills. They de-pulp and wash their coffee cherries by hand and then dry them on concrete patios. Those without mills deliver their cherries to centralized wet mills, which deliver the coffee in parchment to Genuine Origin.

FROM OUR TEAM IN HONDURAS
“It seemed that whenever we asked our quality control lab in El Paraiso where
a particularly good coffee had come from, more times than not they replied,
‘Mata de Plátano.’ It was exciting to realize what was happening there!”
