TIDAL ESPRESSO - FINCA LA ANTARTIDA - HONDURAS

Finca La Antártida is a 21-hectare coffee farm nestled in the mountainous terrain of Las Botijas, within the La Paz department of Honduras. Owned and operated by producer Juan Silvestre, the farm is situated at an elevation of approximately 1700 meters above sea level, providing ideal conditions for cultivating specialty coffee.

The farm's high altitude and cool, mountainous climate contribute to the slow maturation of coffee cherries, enhancing the development of complex flavours. Las Botijas is part of the renowned Montecillos coffee-growing region, known for its unique microclimates and fertile soils. The area is also celebrated for its natural beauty, including waterfalls like El Salto and Las Campañas, and traditional adobe houses with clay tile roofs. 

Las Botijas is a rural community within the municipality of Villa de San Antonio in the department of Comayagua. The inhabitants maintain traditional customs, such as transporting goods with ox-drawn carts, and are engaged in agriculture, producing vegetables, avocados, and coffee. The community's dedication to preserving cultural heritage and sustainable farming practices is evident in their coffee production methods.

Finca La Antártida exemplifies the synergy between traditional practices, environmental stewardship, and community development, resulting in coffees that are exceptional in quality and rich in cultural significance.
