This Fair Trade Organic washed coffee from the APROCOMSA cooperative in Honduras features a smooth, balanced cup with sweet chocolate syrup notes that carry through the finish. Cinnamon sugar adds sweet spiciness mid-palate, complementing the chocolate characteristics, while black plum provides dark fruit sweetness toward the finish. The coffee has a syrupy smooth body with lingering chocolate and plum notes. Medium-Dark roast.
Founded in 1983 by Mike McLaughlin, a Richmond schoolteacher, alongside Pete and Bob McLaughlin, this family owned roaster began with a repurposed peanut roaster holding just 10 pounds per batch. Based in Emeryville, California, McLaughlin has evolved into a multigenerational operation with Mike's son Mark rejoining the family business after a career in Silicon Valley tech. The company sources and roasts premium coffee beans with the same precision and care it has maintained since its founding, blending traditional values with modern specialty coffee standards.
