Honduras - Finca El Melocoton

About This Coffee

Finca El Melocotón is a small, quality-focused farm in Santiago de Puringla, La Paz, Honduras, situated at 1,650 meters altitude. The coffee is planted with Catuai variety and processed using the honey method, with selectively hand-picked cherries at full ripeness. A controlled layer of mucilage is retained on the parchment during slow drying on raised beds. The cup presents sweet preserved plum and orange peel notes with toasted almond and biscuit in the finish, carrying rounded sweetness with gentle citrus lift and clean, lingering confectionery warmth.
