This Honduran coffee surprised us from the very first sip during tasting. We found a natural coffee with a very mellow acidity and tropical sweetness that we knew would make the burrs of our espresso grinders roll.
THE FARM
Each farm has developed its variety following the controls and training proposed at its annual meetings. Harvesting is exclusively by hand, yielding 100% ripe, deep red cherries.
The producers then delivered the cherries to COMSA's central wet processing facility where they were processed and dried in a traditional way until they reached our hands.
THE GRAINS
