This coffee is a field blend of Bourbon, Catuai, and Pacas varieties from Finca Liquidámbar in the San José La Paz region of Honduras. Grown at an altitude of 1510 meters, this lot is processed using the yellow honey method and dried in solar dryers. It features a medium roast profile with tasting notes of banana bread, almond, and pear jam. The cup offers a balanced, approachable character suitable for both filter brewing and espresso.
Founded in 2020 at the onset of the COVID 19 pandemic, Moonwake Coffee Roasters emerged from the passion of two former tech engineers, Ming Wood from Tesla and Mabel Yeung from Meta. What began as Ming's personal coffee project within Tesla's internal coffee club evolved into a full roastery operation after both founders chose to leave their tech careers to pursue coffee full time between 2023 and 2024. Moonwake represents a growing movement of technologists who discovered that coffee roasting offers greater fulfillment than their previous careers, channeling engineering precision into specialty coffee.
