From the roaster

Plum Runner is designed to bring the ideal balance between fruit and traditional coffee notes. It offers more distinct fruit notes, but it's really well balanced with base notes of maple pecans and sweet and spice from cola.

The coffee in Plum Runner right now comes from a producer in Honduras that we met when he was a kid in 2012 and is now producing his own coffee and is a force to be reckoned with in Honduras. His name is Evin Herrera and you can read lots more about him below.

Context

This Honduras coffee from producer Evin Herrera arrives via Phil & Sebastian Coffee Roasters, a roaster known for highlighting origin character. Honduras coffees, particularly those from traditional growing regions, often balance fruit-forward sweetness with subtle spice and earthiness. The roaster identifies this lot with a compelling range: bright fruit notes complemented by maple sweetness, nutty pecans, and hints of cola and spice. This combination suggests a coffee that bridges lighter fruit expression with deeper, more structured sweetness—typical of coffees where both origin and roast development play meaningful roles. For flavor reference, consult the sensory flavor wheel to contextualize how these individual notes interact.
