Honduras Santa Barbara Smallholders

Yiching says --

John has been roasting a bunch since last night to fill our coffee shelves. The coffees are going fast! (And we only put out a few bags of each a time, too.)

This coffee from Honduras is sweet and fruity. It's delicious! We still have a couple bags of it as of now.

Here's John's tasting notes:

This coffee is a late harvest blend of smallholder farms in the area of Pena Blanca and Santa Barbara towns, in Santa Barbara department of Western Honduras. These coffees are from farms too small to keep separate, and represent coffees from the areas of Cielito, Las Flores, and El Cedral.

In the cup it's sweet clean tropical fruit - strawberry, guava, passionfruit, orange marmalade. An amazing find!

Roaster's Choice 011008 Honduras San Marcos COCOSAM Coop

This lot is produced by a co-op called COCOSAM (Cooperativa Cafetelera Sanmarquena) from the southwestern corner of Honduras.




In the cup is a smooth, silky almond flavor with a hint of red apple brightness intertwined with the soft flavors of a traditional Central American cup. A semi-sweet cocoa rounds out the cup giving it a satisfying finish.
