Aroma Cafe Jazmin

Aroma Cafe Jazmin is a lovely, refined Catuai and Bourbon microlot coffee from the La Paz department of Honduras.

Finca Jazmin, a three-hectare (approximately 7.5-acre) farm in the famed Márcala growing region of La Paz, is owned and operated by Nancy Hernandez Contreras with her husband Arturo and their daughter Alex. At a young age, Nancy began learning the coffee trade from her father, an established cafetero since the 1970s, during an era where women in Honduras had few opportunities to buy land or become business owners in the industry.

Starting work at the local coffee cooperative at age 15, Nancy soon found her footing in a community with common interests, working with groups of women to organize toward a better, more equitable future for her fellow laborers. Today, in addition to running Finca Jazmin, Nancy and her family own three coffee shops in Márcala under the name Aroma Café. “Aroma Café is a family business,” Nancy writes. “Our focus is to leave a heritage for new generations and to generate employment for young people and above all transmit our passion for coffee through our work.”
