Among his community of coffee producers in Honduras, Jesus Galeas has been an all-star for years. Now, in his third year on the esteemed TC menu and with his THIRD DROP OF THIS VERY SEASON, we hope he’s well on his way to household name status in our community as well! This 100% IH-90 selection is the last lot from Jesus we’re sharing this season, and rest assured we’re ending on a high note.

Jesus’s story starts like this: he cut his teeth working for the Honduran Coffee Institute (IHCAFE) for seven years, encouraging coffee growers to move toward specialty micro lot production while maintaining financially and environmentally sustainable practices. In 2018, he met Rony Gomez, whose business Cafe Raga offers deeper training and assistance to growers. He brought samples to Rony from two producers in his region who were interested in specialty, and since 2018, this duo of Selguapa specialists has grown to include dozens of growers in what’s called the Los Ramirez group.

La Falda is Jesus’s home farm, where he produces a smattering of tried and true varieties, including Bourbon, Catuai, and IH-90. With these, he’s able to produce both beautiful field blends and exquisite single-variety separations. In this IH-90, we taste an invigorating, nicey spicey sweet talker that’ll be a stellar soundtrack for the winter:spring meet-cute that’s gotta happen eventually, right?
