Tasting notes of tropical fruit, caramel, vanilla, peach and black tea make this an awesome coffee.

In the southwest corner of Honduras, hard on the borders of Guatemala and El Salvador, we find the Ocotepeque region. Here mountains are cloud-shrouded, volcanic soils lend their coffee-friendly nutrients, and temperate microclimates coax the best out of the beans.
In Ocotepeque as in the Marcala region, many of the people are of Lenca descent, contemporaries of Classic and Post-lassic Mayan cultures. The Lenca are believed to have migrated to the Honduras/El Salvador area from South America some 3000 years ago. Though their original language has been obscured, they retain many of their pre-Columbian traditions. These include Lenca pottery, a distinctive cultural marker, and agricultural practices handed down over millennia. No surprise, then, that these methods are helping to produce quality coffee in the misty mountains of southwest Honduras.

Theodore’s Coffee Roasters has a cool backstory that can’t be passed up… Theodore’s was started in 2014 by Darwin Pavon. Darwin was born in Honduras and was lucky enough to find himself one of the original boys in a program called the Micah Project. The Micah Project teaches young men and boys in poverty in Tegucigalpa, Honduras leadership and life skills. This led to Darwin becoming involved in a fertilizer development project where he was collecting soil samples and, my guess is that led to the world of coffee. Fast forward to 2014 and he started a coffee roastery and tasting room in Owosso, Michigan, about midway between Flint and Lansing.
Now the new home is Zeeland Michigan right between Holland and Grand Rapids!

Theodore's Coffee

Darwin Pavon

Theodore’s is sourced through direct trade, a result of Theodore’s founder Darwin Pavon’s relationship with farmers throughout Central America and, more recently, Africa.
Through direct trade, Theodore’s ensures that their farmers are paid a fair amount for their coffee and support Micah Project.
