From the producer

Roger inherited Las Flores and two other farms from his father. He employs two full-time staff and ten seasonal pickers, evaluates coffee in his own cupping lab, and sends samples to IHCAFE for additional analysis.

From the roaster

Partners Coffee is a Brooklyn-based specialty roaster that has sourced coffee from Roger since 2019. They highlight his work through both single-origin offerings and as a component in their blends.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This washed Catuaí comes from the same Las Flores plot that placed second in the 2019 Honduras Cup of Excellence. That 92-point result is historical recognition of the plot, not a score for this current retail release.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Selective picking

Workers carefully select ripe coffee fruit.

02
Washed processing

The coffee is fully washed; the exact source does not publish a fermentation duration.

03
Raised-platform drying

The coffee is sun-dried on raised mesh platforms.

04
Current retail check

Partners’ exact page was rechecked at USD 26 for 12 oz and sold out.

What was added?

Nothing disclosed.

What wasn't added?

No fruit, flavoring or inoculated culture is disclosed.

Why it matters

The documented washed and raised-platform-dried protocol supports a clean presentation, while the unpublished fermentation duration remains explicitly unknown.

What you might taste

Partners lists concord grape, apple cider, gingerbread, graham cracker, milk chocolate, orange zest and molasses.

Coffee profile

In the database. Not tasted. Not scored.

This coffee is in our database because we can reliably document it — but we haven't tasted and scored it yet, and we never publish a score we haven't earned.

Outside reviews and internet discussion — is kept clearly separate from our own review. When we taste it, our full review appears here.

The internet pulse

What the internet is saying about this coffee

Research complete — no qualifying reviews yet

Our research pipeline scanned public reviews, videos, forums and discussions for this coffee (last pass 2026-10-18) and found no independent review of this exact release that meets our verification standards. When qualifying sources appear, they'll be published here.

What we found

Method: only independent sources tied to this exact Partners release qualify. The seller-hosted 4.8/5 from 25 reviews was excluded. Beans with Beanie reports no ratings or written reviews, while Cherrybook’s displayed index is an evidence-coverage model, not a cup score.
