This coffee is from El Cielito in the Santa Bárbara department of Honduras, produced by second-generation farmer Nelin Yovani Guzman Muñoz on his farm Los Zorzales. It is a Parainema varietal, a locally bred Sarchimor developed by IHCAFE to resist nematodes. The coffee is processed as a natural with an extended drying period under protective parabolic shade. The result is a bright, sweet cup with pronounced notes of pineapple, green apple, and kombucha.

Case Study Coffee Roasters was founded by Wes Russell and Christine Herman, opening their first café on NE Sandy Boulevard in 2010 in Portland, Oregon. The team roasts on a Loring S7 Nighthawk, an energy efficient single burner machine, producing light to medium profiles that showcase each coffee's origin. Sourcing is built on annual origin trips to develop direct farmer relationships, and the range includes single origin coffees, blends, and seasonal micro lots. Case Study operates two Portland locations on NE Sandy Boulevard and downtown on SW 10th Avenue, both serving full espresso bars. The roastery has won multiple awards including Best Coffee from Willamette Week.
