Few words are as evocative in any context, but within the context of coffee the word almost echoes, as if all the many hands that cause coffee to come our way formed a long tunnel to our ear, as if the word itself must travel too. For a long time, the facts of the matter mostly remained the same and it was our point of view that changed. But in recent years, under the upstream influence of specialty coffee, the facts on the ground have changed. Beneficio San Vicente. Photo by Covoya. Terra firma. These are the easy and alliterative answers to where coffee comes from, and answers only recently added to the coffee-splaining of your average coffee drinker. Once upon a time, in the early days of coffeehouses appearing in Europe, coffee simply came from Arabia as far as most people knew. Even when that region lost its grip on a commercial coffee growing monopoly, the idea that coffee came from Arabia remained fixed in the popular imagination. Thus, Austin and R. Twenty-Five years later their iconic, if somewhat ambiguous, trademark, The Coffee Taster, reflected Arabian inspiration, though by that time the port of Mocha had replaced Arabia as the origin of coffee, along with Java, in the minds of most people. So pervasive was the belief that most coffee—or most good coffee—came from Mocha or Java and ideally, both combined , that coffee sellers would label coffee Mocha, Java, or Mocha Java no matter where it came from. The origin of coffee was no longer confined to Mocha or Java. Coffee was understood to come from many different countries. Image from All About Coffee by W. Ukers, Through the early part of the 20 th century, each coffee country had generally accepted, though arguable, flavor characteristics assigned to the entire country.

In , Honduras had only been producing coffee commercially for two decades and received minor if positive mention. So, for most of the 20 th century, as far as the majority of coffee drinkers were concerned, coffee came from countries probably Brazil, and later Colombia, in the minds of most and maybe, if they were connoisseurs, a few well known regions within countries. The emergence of specialty coffee as a distinct industry segment was analogous in this regard, perhaps, to the zoom function in Google maps. Drying Patio in the town of Pena Blanca. As the green side of the coffee industry sought to answer this impulse with ever increasing specificity, coffee producers responded, at first and most often through national organizations that designated coffee regions and created language and stories around these regions. But the hunger for more information and more opportunities to differentiate product among coffee roasters could not be satiated. Behind national organizations came large estates and cooperatives with production facilities that understood roasters wanted map-pin geographic indicators on their coffee bags. It may be too great a generalization to say the option of being a 'map-pin' on a roasters coffee package did not exist for very small coffee farmers i. Admittedly, this is an oversimplification, but if you want to understand who Beneficio San Vicente is and what they do, they are a production facility that says yes to our hypothetical small holder coffee farmer. Benjamin Paz. Where does coffee come from? Coffee comes from farmers and not even the smallest of them need be anonymous anymore or see the potential distinctiveness of their coffee vanish at the mill due to business models like that at San Vicente developed by the Paz family and their team. Benjamin and Fidel Paz, with their cousin Arturo, did not invent the idea of single farmer micro-lots, to be sure. But the economic 'ecosystem' that exists within and around San Vicente and the town of Pena Blanca, and the persistent 'drill-down' to sub-separations, even from the same farm, was unique and a truly pioneering effort in Honduran coffee.
