After taking a year off and letting the Elf on the Top Shelf take over holiday duties in 2025, we are stoked to be back to FruitcakeLand in 2026!

This year we have a scintillating selection from one of our all-time favorite coffee origins, Honduras; particularly the venerable region of Santa Barbara.

Erick Daniel Moreno carries a surname that pulls weight in specialty coffee circles. The Moreno family is legendary from all the work they’ve done to build up their home base, El Cedral, through coffee production and heavy investments in cultivating high-end specialty lots.

This particular Pacas separation comes from El Tanque, a farm owned by Erick’s father Danny, who is the son of the original Moreno patriarch, Daniel. (Mega Dans in this clan!) This is Erick’s first lot to be exported to the U.S. and we are so glad it lands so neatly in our FRUITCAKE FEELINGS.

This coffee has a bright citrusy presence that reminds us of quick sled runs on fresh sparkly snow. It’s clove spice backbone fills us with the warmth and excitement of a surprise day off, that bundled feeling of being at home with your family, friends and neighbors.

However you celebrate this coming season, we hope it’s with an easy cup of this coffee, warming you from the inside ❤️
