Context

The Archive: Honduras Yojoa represents a collaborative effort from producers Arturo Paz and Edgardo Tinoco in the Santa Bárbara region of Honduras. This specific lot is prepared using the washed process, a method typically employed to highlight the inherent clarity and acidity of the bean. By removing the fruit flesh before drying, producers often achieve a cleaner cup profile that emphasizes the terroir of the high-altitude landscape.

In the cup, this coffee is characterized by a distinct citrus brightness balanced by a steady sweetness and a refined, tea-like structure. When evaluating these nuances, tasters often consult a flavor wheel to better articulate the interplay between these delicate acidity levels and the underlying sugars.
