As a third-generation coffee producer, Oscar Tinoco grew up surrounded by coffee trees, yet his personal journey as a farmer began in 2004, when he made a down payment to his father for the family farm, “Pino de Oro.”

Tucked deep within the Honduran mountains, the farm once lacked roads, electricity, and a drainage-fed water supply. Undeterred, Oscar dedicated himself to reviving it — a challenge he had fully accomplished by 2008.

In 2011, after his second attempt in the Cup of Excellence, Oscar achieved national recognition, winning the prestigious title with coffee from this very farm. The award proceeds allowed him to complete the land payment and construct roads connecting Pino de Oro to the nearest town, transforming accessibility for both his family and the community.

Guided by his Christian faith, Oscar continues to inspire neighboring farmers to pursue excellence, sharing knowledge and quality-driven practices. He even built an eco-friendly wet processing facility for the community to use — a testament to his belief that prosperity grows when it’s shared.

Looking ahead, Oscar hopes to open Pino de Oro to visiting international buyers, offering them a chance to experience firsthand the richness of his land and how it translates into the cup — a vibrant coffee that tells the story of dedication, faith, and transformation.
