This coffee is sourced from Finca Liquidámbar in the Guascotoro mountain community of La Paz, Honduras, grown at an altitude of 1,510 meters in clay mineral soils. It is a blend of Bourbon, Catuai, and Pacas varieties processed using the yellow honey method, where cherries are pulped and dried with some mucilage intact. Roasted to a medium-light level for filter brewing, this coffee features notes of brown sugar, ripe apricot, and toasted coconut, complemented by soft florals, mild milk chocolate, and a juicy stone fruit acidity with a creamy finish.

49th Parallel has been a heavyweight in the Vancouver coffee scene since 2004, when brothers Vince and Michael Piccolo set out to bring world-class specialty coffee to the West Coast before it was trendy. They were early pioneers of the direct trade model, which sees them traveling extensively to build face-to-face relationships with farmers. Their roasting style is famous for its consistency and balance; they avoid the ultra-light, acidic "lemon juice" profiles in favor of developing sweetness and body that appeals to both coffee nerds and casual drinkers. It was voted Vancouver’s #1 roastery in 2025.
