Honduras Bella Vista

DIRECT TRADE COFFEE

Description

This is a fully washed lot of Pacas variety produced by Carlos Damian on his farm, Bella Vista. This coffee has a full, syrupy mouthfeel and clean sweetness. We also really enjoyed the more lively notes in the cup such as red apricot and berries, which in addition to the roundness of body, makes for a very fitting coffee for the season.

Produced by Carlos Damian, the Honduras Bella Vista represents a classic expression of the Pacas varietal. This specific lot is prepared using the washed process, a method often favored for highlighting the inherent clarity and acidity of the bean. Sourced from Honduras, this coffee is roasted by 49th Parallel Coffee Roasters and features distinct tasting notes of red apricot and berries.

When evaluating coffees like this, enthusiasts often consult the flavor wheel to better identify the nuanced fruit profiles that emerge in the cup. While washed coffees are generally celebrated for their clean, bright profiles, the specific character of a Pacas harvest can vary significantly based on regional terroir. By focusing on the intersection of traditional processing and careful roasting, this selection offers a clear look at the potential of Damian’s harvest, providing a balanced experience that emphasizes vibrant, fruit-forward characteristics.
