Honduras El Cucurucho Honey

Finca El Cucurucho

Carlos’ connection to his family’s rich coffee heritage stems from the work of his father, Daniel Ulloy. Their coffee journey began in the 1970s when Daniel began growing coffee. For many years, they sold the harvest to Don Cantalicio Paz, Benjamín and Arturo’s grandfather.

Carlos Ulloa joined his father at an early age and during his adolescence.

At the age of 21, he moved into an administrative role at Exportadora San Vicente. He played a key role in the transformation of San Vicente into an export company and was involved in the creation of the fine coffee project.

During his 18 years there, he gained extensive experience with post-production processes and coffee export.

In 2013, Carlos joined a group of regional producers who sought to obtain socio-environmental certifications such as Rainforest Alliance and Fairtrade.

In 2018, he purchased land in the Santa Barbara Mountains with the goal of building a cabin for tourist purposes.

In 2022, he took the opportunity to purchase a neighboring plot of land with a neglected coffee farm. He set about restoring it to produce premium coffee, and this period marked his first year of microlotting from the project.

Carlos plans to grow 2 hectares of high-quality, select coffee - not for economic gain, but out of pure passion for coffee and the joy of being able to produce beans that are highly valued abroad.
