Context
Sourced from the Piedras Amarillas region of Honduras, this North Star Espresso offering from 49th Parallel Coffee Roasters showcases the clean, structured profile typical of the washed process. By removing the fruit flesh before drying, washed coffees often highlight the inherent acidity and clarity of the bean, allowing the specific terroir of the region to shine through.
In the cup, this selection presents a nuanced balance between bright, orchard-fruit acidity and a rich, sugary foundation. The roaster identifies notes of pear and pomegranate, which transition into a deeper pomegranate jam and toffee finish. When evaluating these characteristics, drinkers may find it helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better articulate the interplay between the crisp fruit tones and the lingering, caramelized sweetness. This espresso is a testament to the careful cultivation practices found within the Piedras Amarillas landscape.
