關於莊園
我自認是個咖啡狂熱者，記得當年在百花莊園裡度過許多童年時光。這些年，我們嘗試種過很多咖啡，但目前有百分之九十是卡杜艾(Catuai)和波旁(Bourbon)。我們的選豆過程很特別，只精選出成熟的剛剛好的咖啡櫻桃。我們用折射計/測糖儀(refractometer)，去測量咖啡櫻桃的含糖濃度，若我們能讓糖度自然增加，則較有可能取得更甜、更具複雜度、更好喝的咖啡。通常，我們以日曬和水洗處理，若是天氣理想，濕度較低，大多數的咖啡會經過緩慢地日曬至少25天，但有時候得視天氣狀況，採用發酵處理，若是用這種方式則要耗費15到20小時。
莊主介紹
羅傑 多明奎茲
我是第三代莊主，承襲了父母對於咖啡的熱愛和種植咖啡的知識，我的弟弟和妻子也都投入到咖啡事業裡。年輕的時候，我沒有做過任何和咖啡無關的工作，只專心在莊園裡幫助父母種植咖啡，並向他們學習。這麼多年下來，我累積了不少經驗，發展出創新的咖啡種植和加工技術，並加強了我和客戶的商業連結。經營咖啡莊園需要面對許多突發狀況，有時也會感到很有壓力，所以我總是利用閒暇時間從事戶外運動來轉換心情，例如踢足球、釣魚，或單純地和大自然相處一會。
未來期望
在上帝的幫助下，和我的家人過著值得過的人生。我們計劃升級咖啡處理設施，日後取得出口許可證。
我十分熱愛種植咖啡，為了產出最優質的咖啡，我們所做的每一道步驟都充滿著愛與原則。

ABOUT THE FARM
Discover the unique flavors of Finca Las Flores coffee! Our farm specializes in growing two varieties, Catuai and Bourbon, with 90% of our crops dedicated to these varieties. We believe that the key to great coffee is in the cherry selection process and that's why we use a refractometer to measure the sugar concentration in the cherries, ensuring that the cherries we pick are at the perfect ripeness level. This leads to sweeter and more complex flavors in our coffee.
We experiment with different processing methods, such as natural and washed processing, and even controlled fermentation processes that last 15-20 hours. Every batch of our coffee is slowly sun-dried for a minimum of 25 days, thanks to the ideal weather conditions and low humidity levels in Marcala in Honduras. Try our coffee today and taste the difference!
WHO’S THE FARMER
Roger Dominguez
As a third-generation coffee farmer, I come from a family deeply rooted in the love and knowledge of coffee farming. My passion for coffee began at a young age and only grew stronger as my brothers and wife also joined the coffee business.
With years of experience under my belt, I've developed innovative solutions and new processing techniques to ensure the highest quality of our Honduran Coffee and strengthen our relationships with customers. The ups and downs of running a farm can be demanding, but I always make time for outdoor activities like soccer, fishing and immersing myself in nature to find balance.
Join me on this journey of producing delicious and high-quality Honduran Coffee.
FARMER’S DREAMS
With the help of God, to have a worthy living life with my family. We plan to improve our coffee processing facilities and sooner or later we are planning on obtaining a coffee export license.
I’m very passionate for coffee harvesting and every single step we make in order to produce great coffee, we do it with love and discipline.
