Buyer's Notebook: La Tortuga Honduras

Intelligentsia Coffee

Our La Tortuga Honduras takes its name and inspiration from the moral of Aesop's fable about the toroise and the hare: slow and steady wins the race. In this episode of our Buyer's Notebook series, our Vice President of Coffee and Green Coffee Buyer for Honduras Geoff Watts tells the story of La Tortuga and the extraordinary growers who made their way to the front of the pack through discipline, persistence and unwavering attention to detail: Don Fabio Caballero, his daughter Marysabel and her husband Moisés Herrera. The Intelligentsia Buyer's Notebook: the stories of our coffees in the words of the buyers themselves.
