Coffee Details

This balanced, chuggable cup comes from producer Jose Esteban Madrid, whose farm is located in the beautiful Santa Barbara region of Honduras. This cup is made of 100% Pacas varietal. We've worked with Mr. Madrid for several years now, and his coffee always really impresses us. What really makes this year's cup special are the hints of orange candy, mulling spices and even some florals apparent on the finish.

Sourced from the Santa Barbara region of Honduras, this lot from producer Jose Esteban Madrid showcases the distinct character of the Pacas varietal. As a natural mutation of Bourbon, Pacas is often recognized for its balanced structure and adaptability to high-altitude environments. This specific offering, roasted by Case Coffee Roasters, presents a complex profile featuring notes of apples, brown sugar, plum, orange candy, mulling spices, and florals.

When evaluating such a diverse array of flavors, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better categorize the interplay between the fruit-forward acidity and the deeper, spice-driven sweetness. While every harvest is unique, coffees from Santa Barbara are frequently celebrated for their vibrant clarity and depth. This selection highlights the meticulous work of Jose Esteban Madrid, providing a refined example of what this renowned growing region can achieve when paired with careful processing and precise roasting.
