If you have been following several of our most recent menu launches, you are familiar with the supply chain challenges we have been experiencing. The delays out of every origin are the most extreme we’ve ever seen. We’re having trouble even getting a container to show-up at the dry mills to pick up the coffee. There will be 2 to 3 no-shows before one arrives, and we’ll have lost the window of our sea freight booking, then rinse-repeat with every country we work in!
From Royal Coffee:
The municipality of Marcala, in Honduras’ La Paz department, is a mountainous region with Pacific Ocean climate influence very close to the country’s border with El Salvador. This part of Honduras is extremely well respected for coffee quality. So much so that in 2005 the region received Honduras’ first Denominación de Origen (DO) for coffee, which, similar to American Viticulture Areas (AVAs), certifies the region’s terroir and final products as being authentic so as to protect its exports from adulteration or imitation. The DO designation applies to Honduras’ mountainous southwestern region and includes parts of Intibucá, La Paz, and Comayagua, although it is simply named “DO Marcala” after the central municipality itself, which is considered the region’s capital of coffee heritage.
