Honduras Caballero Pacamara Natural

Everything about this coffee is big. The Pacamara variety produces big cherries, big seeds, and big flavors, and it was produced by one the biggest names in Honduran coffee: the Caballero family. Having worked with the Caballeros since 2002, we have featured many lots from their award-winning farm, but they never cease to offer something new. This lot marks our first release of the naturally processed Pacamara, which takes the notes of this already fruit-forward cultivar and ups the intensity.

The Honduras Caballero Pacamara Natural represents a collaboration with the Caballero family, producers renowned for their meticulous approach to coffee cultivation in Honduras. This specific lot features the Pacamara varietal, a hybrid known for its distinctively large bean size and complex, often layered flavor profile. By utilizing a natural processing method, the producers allow the coffee cherry to dry intact around the seed, which can impart a unique sweetness and depth to the final cup.

Sourced and roasted by Intelligentsia Coffee, this offering highlights the intersection of careful agricultural practices and precise post-harvest handling. When evaluating the nuances of such a coffee, enthusiasts often find it helpful to reference the flavor wheel to identify the specific aromatic and taste characteristics that emerge from this combination of origin, varietal, and processing. This coffee serves as a compelling example of the diversity found within the region’s specialty output.
