Our 2nd showcase from famed Honduran producers Marysabel Caballero & Moises Herrera is a “CLASSIC” Fully washed Catuai, a variety that makes up the majority of their production across their multiple farms. This lot comes from one of their newer farms called Las Amazonas, situated 1600 MASL around their wet mill in Marcala, Honduras.

Most coffees from Central America are fully washed, which involves depulping & dry fermenting the coffees for 12-18 hours. The Caballeros employ “guardiolas” or mechanical dryers for larger lots, after pre-drying them on raised beds, which increases their efficiency & productivity. 

We selected this coffee for its comforting flavours of red apples & milk chocolate, which makes it super versatile to be enjoyed either as a pour over or a milk coffee.
