Mariano Nolasco is the dedicated manager of Finca Gosen, a family-owned coffee farm nestled in the community of La Pilas, Honduras, at approximately 1,500 meters above sea level. As the second generation to cultivate coffee on this land, Mariano learned the craft from a young age under his father's guidance. He has since expanded his expertise through training in cupping, post-harvest techniques, and even English, supported by community mentors and quality-focused partners like Raga Coffee.

At Finca Gosen, the family cultivates H-27, a regional hybrid variety known for its resilience and vibrant, fruit-driven cup profiles. Mariano's commitment to innovation and quality improvement has transitioned the farm into the specialty coffee space, producing unique and expressive microlots. This particular lot is processed as an Anaerobic Natural, beginning with the selective handpicking of ripe cherries. These cherries undergo anaerobic fermentation in sealed, oxygen-free tanks, intensifying fruit characteristics and encouraging controlled microbial activity.

After fermentation, the cherries are dried slowly on raised beds to ensure even moisture loss and flavor development. The resulting coffee bursts with juicy, tropical character, showcasing notes of cherry, blackcurrant, banana, and exotic fruits, carried by a round body and a clean, lingering finish. Mariano's meticulous approach and openness to new techniques continue to define Finca Gosen as a rising force in Honduras's specialty coffee scene.
