Honduras Balbina Sabillon Parainema Honey

Proud Mary Coffee

About This Coffee

This coffee comes from producer Balbina Sabillon in Santa Barbara, Honduras. The farm is planted primarily with the Parainema variety (with a small amount of Geisha) and the lot was processed using a honey method. Tasting notes list caramel, green apple and honey, with the honey process creating an extra-sweet, round cup. The listing provides espresso and filter brew ratios but does not specify roast level.

Proud Mary Coffee

Nolan and Shari Hirte opened Proud Mary in Collingwood in 2009. A trip along the American west coast had shown him what specialty coffee could be and he returned to Melbourne determined to bring that approach to a country that was, at the time, an espresso nation. Nolan first attended Cup of Excellence in 2011; since then, Proud Mary staff have served on international juries for over a decade. Proud Mary became one of Melbourne's first roasters to champion filter coffee and single-origin brewing. The roastery categorizes its offerings along a Mild-to-Wild spectrum. Their Ghost Rider blend, a natural-processed combination of Brazilian and Ethiopian coffees, is award-winning. A second roasting operation now runs from Portland, Oregon, supplying American wholesale accounts and retail customers with locally roasted beans.
