Honduras Comicovel Coffee

CUPPING NOTES FROM OUR HEAD ROASTER

This next release comes to us from the Opalaca region of Honduras. In this cup, you’ll first notice a gentle blackberry tartness, which quickly gives way to the comforting warmth of toasted oats, followed by a rich, dark chocolate finish. As the coffee cools, subtle notes of walnut and clove develop, adding complexity to the experience. A lovely cup that evolves as it cools.

The Honduras Comicovel Coffee, sourced from the Opalaca region, represents a collaborative effort by the Comicovel Members. This lot features the Lempira varietal, a plant developed for its resilience and specific cup profile. Processed using the washed method, this coffee undergoes a meticulous cleaning stage that typically highlights the inherent clarity and acidity of the bean.

Roasted by Press Coffee Roasters, the final cup presents a complex profile defined by blackberry tartness, toasted oats, dark chocolate, walnut, and clove. While washed coffees are often celebrated for their clean, bright characteristics, the specific interplay of these notes can be mapped against the flavor wheel to better understand how regional terroir and processing techniques influence the final sensory experience. This selection offers a grounded, savory-leaning cup that showcases the distinct agricultural output of the Opalaca highlands.
