Our farm is unique. Our agronomist team is led by and made up of women farmers who share a heritage of coffee. Because we are committed to the people behind the coffee bean, we pay our agronomists above established fair wages, effectively uniting heritage and livelihood again on the mountain.
San Lázaro Coffee is more than a farm. It's a living model of regeneration.

The flavor you enjoy in our coffees is a result of the high elevation, the perfect balance of sun and shade, the volcanic soil, and of course the Arabica tree it comes from, all thanks to the daily care each tree receives year-round from our agronomists.
Our agronomists comb the entire farm four times during each harvest season with steady, discerning hands in order to preserve the health of each tree and to pick the ripened coffee cherry only when it's ready.
Coffee roasting is an artisan skill. The amount and type of heat, its duration and how it is applied, determine everything from the aroma to the first sip and its after notes. Our roasts always show our coffees to best advantage.
On the night of April 30, flames appeared on the mountain that San Lazaro Coffee calls home. What began as an intentional act of arson quickly became a threat in the peak of Honduras’ dry season. After nearly five months without measurable rain, the mountain was a tinderbox, and the fire spread quickly through the steep terrain surrounding our coffee farm.
For nine years, Candida Rosa Benítez walked the paths of Finca San Lázaro with quiet faithfulness. What may have looked like ordinary work was, in reality, the steady unfolding of something much greater.
At San Lázaro Coffee, coffee is a tool for transformation. While we are committed to quality, sustainability, and responsible farming, our deeper purpose is in people. This vision was birthed by Mission Lazarus, whose 25-year presence in Honduras has shaped our commitment to holistic, dignity-centered impact.
