Marysabel Caballero and Moisés Herrera, owners of Finca El Puente, are some of Counter Culture's oldest and best partners. Since their first meeting in 2005, the duo have become part of the Counter Culture family, thanks to their constant pursuit of coffee perfection. This year’s harvest has rich notes of almond and brown sugar and finishes with a baked apple flavor.
Finca El Puente is our featured coffee for the month of July.

Finca El Puente is owned by Marysabel Caballero and her husband, Moisés Herrera. Marysabel is a third-generation coffee farmer. Her maternal grandfather, Felipe García, established coffee farms and passed them down to his daughter, Sandra, who shared ownership with her husband, Fabio. Moisés grew up in Guatemala and trained as an accountant. After school, he worked for a Guatemalan coffee company, but his curious nature pushed him to look beyond the books and learn multiple facets of the business. Recognizing his cross-functional value, the company sent him to Honduras in the 1990s to manage their coffee operations, and this eventually led him to invest in some land in Chenacla. After meeting and marrying Marysabel, they established the land as a coffee farm together. They dedicated themselves to producing the highest-quality coffee possible. When they heard about the first coffee contests in Honduras, they entered their lots and quickly won prizes. Coffee from Finca El Puente maintains an impressive winning streak that continues to this day.
Today, Finca El Puente is one of the most innovative farms in the world, growing rare coffee varieties under unique conditions and testing experimental processing techniques. They steadily seek to improve all aspects of their coffee production. They also take pride in being excellent business owners. They employ farm workers year round, continually improve their housing, and invest in schools for their employee’s children and the greater community.
