Finca La Odisea

Selvin Umanzor - Farmer

Nestled in the lush highlands of Tutule, La Paz, Honduras, at an altitude of 1,626 meters above sea level, Finca La Odisea is home to Umanzor Coffee, a brand deeply rooted in family tradition and a dedication to quality. Surrounded by dense Liquidambar forests, this farm is more than just a place of cultivation—it’s a testament to the passion and vision of Selvin Umanzor, a third-generation coffee producer who has built upon the legacy of his family to bring the finest specialty coffee to the world.

Umanzor Coffee was born out of Selvin’s desire to honor his father, Adolfo Umanzor, by carrying on the family tradition of coffee cultivation while elevating it to new heights. What began as a tribute to his father’s hard work and perseverance has, over time, transformed into a symbol of excellence in Honduran coffee production. With each passing season, Selvin has incorporated modern techniques and innovative practices into the farming process, making Umanzor Coffee synonymous with quality and sustainability.

The journey to create this high-grade coffee has not been easy, but Selvin’s entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to his craft have guided the way. As a father, husband, and visionary, he has meticulously worked to refine his production methods. At Finca La Odisea, Umanzor Coffee is produced using advanced techniques such as honey and natural processing, which enhance the unique flavour profiles of the beans. These processes, combined with the high altitude and ideal growing conditions, result in Specialty SHG (Strictly High Grown) coffee—a classification that guarantees the beans are cultivated in optimal environments, ensuring exceptional quality.

Selvin’s relentless pursuit of excellence has not only made Umanzor Coffee a respected name in Honduras but has also allowed him to successfully establish the brand in the UK market. The delicate, complex flavours of Umanzor Coffee, enriched by the natural biodiversity of the farm’s surroundings, are now enjoyed by coffee lovers far beyond the borders of Honduras.

At Finca La Odisea, every bean carries the weight of tradition, the innovation of modern techniques, and the heart of a family legacy. Umanzor Coffee is more than a product—it’s a labor of love, cultivated with care and respect for the land and people behind it. Selvin’s commitment to producing world-class coffee has solidified Umanzor Coffee as a brand that not only honors the past but looks boldly to the future.
