honduras coffee
by bard coffee · portland, usa
you'll taste lemon before caramel. this is finca liquidambar, a washed honduras from bard coffee.
it leads with lemon brightness and moves into caramel and brown sugar sweetness, finishing with a combination of milk chocolate and dark chocolate. the washed process keeps the flavors clean and well-defined rather than fruity or heavy.
it is a bourbon varietal grown in the marcala region of honduras and processed using the washed method, which removes the fruit before drying and produces a cleaner, more structured cup.
filter methods such as pour over or drip suit this coffee well, as they highlight the clean acidity and layered sweetness that the washed process and bourbon varietal produce. a medium grind and water around 93c are a reliable starting point.
portland's coffee scene runs deeper than the tourist maps suggest. you'll find the real action scattered through neighborhoods where locals actually live and work. bard coffee sits on middle street like it's been part of the landscape for decades, though the steady stream of people walking in with their own mugs suggests something more recent. this isn't a place trying to impress anyone with flashy setups or complicated menu boards. the coffee speaks first. regulars here have strong opinions about what constitutes good coffee, and they keep coming back for reasons that have nothing to do with convenience or location. some mornings the line stretches past the door, but nobody seems particularly bothered by the wait. the beans rotate seasonally, the brewing stays consistent, and the whole operation feels like it knows exactly what it's doing. middle street gets busy around lunch, but the afternoon pour-overs hit different when the neighborhood settles into its quieter rhythm.
