Honduras Joel Guzman

This is our second year working with award-winning producer Joel Guzman. Mr. Guzman, who processes his coffee at Beneficio San Viscente, has won several awards over the years, including the most prestigious Cup of Excellence for his top-quality coffees. This coffee is a perfect example of a sweet and balanced, hyper-chuggable cup. Blackberry jam, fresh peaches and butter toffee notes dominate, while the acidity is rounded and balanced. The mouthfeel is smooth and slightly creamy, making this coffee superb for both espresso and drip.

 

We roast and ship on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. All orders placed before 10AM ship that day.

Produced by Joel Guzman, this Honduras selection from Case Coffee Roasters highlights the distinct character of coffee grown in Honduras. The cup profile is defined by a vibrant interplay of fruit and sweetness, featuring notes of blackberry jam, fresh peaches, and butter toffee.

When evaluating coffees with such pronounced fruit-forward characteristics, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better identify the nuances between stone fruits and dark berries. While every harvest varies, coffees from this region are often celebrated for their balanced acidity and approachable sweetness. This specific lot reflects the careful cultivation practices of Joel Guzman, offering a clean and expressive experience that showcases the potential of the terroir. Whether enjoyed as a pour-over or a standard drip brew, the interplay of jammy fruit and rich toffee notes provides a complex, lingering finish that is characteristic of high-quality Honduran production.
