El Chollo For Cheap

CONEXH S.A., established on February 7th, 2021, aspires to be a trusted partner in the green coffee bean supply chain. Rooted in a five-generation family tradition of coffee production, they own ten farms in a renowned coffee-growing region. Over the years, they’ve fostered close ties with local coffee farmers, uniting 40 members under the banner of “Los Compaz.”

CONEXH’s General Manager, Carlos Mejia, also known as Chollo, an engineer with deep roots in the coffee industry, hailing from Tutule. He drives the operations, overseeing every step from farming and processing to the export of green coffee beans. Carlos, alongside his family, manages Finca El Chollo, a farm with around 65,000 coffee trees—a standard size in the Honduran coffee landscape.

The cooperative has incorporated the processing of freshly harvested coffee beans, employing a distinctive traditional sun-drying method across a 10-hectare area. Following the picking process, cherries undergo quality sorting and are subsequently processed through a depulping mill. The coffee cherries then undergo a 3-day fermentation period. The mucilage surrounding the beans is then removed with water over a 30-hour period. Finally, the beans are dried and packed at 11% moisture content, allowing the flavours to thrive.
