Context
Sourced from the Santa Barbara region of Honduras, the Direct-Trade Honduras El Cañal represents a focused expression of the Pacas varietal. Cultivated at an elevation between 1550 and 1580 masl, this lot is handled by James Coffee Co using a traditional washed process. While natural-processed coffees often lean toward heavy fruit profiles, washed coffees are generally celebrated for their ability to highlight the inherent clarity and acidity of the bean.
The Pacas variety is a natural mutation of Bourbon, frequently noted for its balanced structure and adaptability to high-altitude environments. By utilizing a washed method, the roaster emphasizes the clean, crisp characteristics typical of this specific preparation technique. To better understand how these regional and processing factors influence the final cup, we encourage you to consult our flavor wheel to identify the nuanced notes present in this particular harvest.
