Traditionally, the farm produced coffee that was sold as parchment to local intermediaries. After growing up on the land, Katia went on to study agronomy at the renowned Zamorano Agricultural School. When the 2012 roya (coffee leaf rust) epidemic devastated Honduras’s coffee crops, she was compelled to rethink everything she knew about coffee farming.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDetermined to understand specialty coffee from the ground up, Katia became a certified barista and roaster, opened her own café, and began roasting and selling her family’s coffee. Over time, and through many conversations, her father entrusted her with plots of land to farm independently. Five years of experimentation later, her efforts began to pay off.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKatia’s journey wasn’t without resistance. Early on, many people refused to work for her simply because she was a woman. Today, San Isidro thrives with a strong, harmonious team and a growing presence in the global coffee community.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBeyond coffee, Katia has become a community leader, helping build a school and support local nutrition programs. Her journey is a powerful reminder that coffee can be more than a crop or a livelihood. In the hands of dedicated producers like Katia, it can become a vehicle for lasting change, community empowerment, and a legacy that reaches far beyond the farm.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*IF you would like this coffee ground, please specify brew method in comments. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Little Waves Coffee Roasters","offers":[{"title":"10 oz Whole Bean","offer_id":67675994095868,"sku":null,"price":41.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 g Whole Bean","offer_id":67675994128636,"sku":null,"price":17.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 lbs.
