Flavor Notes: Graham and rich malt, accented by a mild splash of fresh citrus zest.
Acidity: Clean and pronounced.
Sweetness: Mellow and smooth finish
Roast Profile:
We recommend a medium roast (City+ to Full City) to preserve the delicate malt, graham, and fresh citrus notes while rounding out its acidity. Central American coffees grown at high altitudes have a dense bean structure, which allows them to take heat well during the early states of the roast.
Recommended Use:
Drip, Pour-Over, Espresso. Cold Brew/Nitro Brew, Blends

Fair Trade– and organic-certified coffees from Honduras come from
democratically run organizations of smallholder coffee growers. The average farm size for cooperative members is between 1.5–5 hectares.
CAFESCOR stands for Cafés Especiales Corquin, a certified-organic Fairtrade association of 131 producers that was founded in 2014 in Lempira, Honduras. The farmers hail from several municipalities, and they own small parcels of land in the mountainous region, with its fertile loamy soil. These farms are on
"the other side of the mountain" from Chalatenango, El Salvador, which is the region in that country where we have found the best-cupping coffees. The producers here grow under shade trees, which provide plenty of organic material for composting and fertilization. The processing facility of CAFESCOR is located in a central point between where the producers live
and work. After picking, the coffee is fermented underwater for 15–18 hours, then washed once to remove the mucilage. Drying takes place in mechanical driers for 30–35 hours, or on patios for 10–15 days.
