From Plantation to Cup

Each cup of award-winning Don Adán coffee contains over 140 years of passion. Each bean has passed through the hands of the Barrios family as it grows from seed and is harvested in Honduras before being roasted and served in Sydney.

Creating a high quality coffee is an intricate process. It begins with the careful preparation of the soil at the plantation and ends as a cup is served.

Before the seed is even planted, environmental factors such as altitude and climate are infusing the seeds with their own unique flavour. Like the grapes used for a vintage wine, coffee beans are fragile and must be carefully monitored to maintain quality control.

Don Adán coffee originates from the mountains of South-western Honduras, Central America in the region of Marcala’s. It is 100% SHG Arabica Estate Coffee.

SHG means Strictly High Grown, a highly sought after characteristic in coffee. As with a good wine, the best beans come from a high altitude as they mature slower and more thoroughly than the lower altitude varieties. This is particularly important in harvesting coffee, as the density of the bean is crucial during the roasting process.

Don Adán Coffee is unique. It is of single origin AND single estate and consists of handpicked 100% SHG Arabica Coffee.

The advantages of a single origin/single estate coffee are considerable; consistency and quality are guaranteed at every step throughout the production process as each bean is closely monitored.

We import our coffee raw (as ‘green’ coffee beans) and roast to order in Sydney. Essentially, the product is moved directly from producer to consumer.
