Benjamin Paz - SL28 Natural

MEET THE PRODUCER | Our relationship with Benjamin Paz began long before we opened the doors of Black & White. One of our owners, Kyle, first met Benjamin back in 2015 through a mutual friend (Kevin Bohlin, the mastermind behind Saint Frank Coffee in San Francisco - we can't recommend them enough!). Benjamin's mission to help roasters buy high-grown, single-producer, and (often) single-variety lots from the Santa Barbara region of Honduras has resulted in a beautiful and fruitful relationship with us, and we are so honored to call him one of our dearest friends in coffee.

TRUST THE PROCESS | After being handpicked at peak ripeness, the coffee cherries are transported to the wet mill and hand-sorted for quality. Then the cherries are put in a solar dryer to slowly dry for 16 days and are shaken constantly to ensure uniform drying

TAKE A SIP | The natural lot is where this coffee came to party! It's tropical, vibrant, and juicy - reminding us of sangria. It becomes more complex and lovely as it cools. Honestly, between you and us: it just might be the best natural we've ever tasted from Honduras.
