honduras + nicaragua coffee · cup of excellence
by bows coffee roasters · victoria, canada
you'll taste red apple before honey. this is bella aurora, a honey honduras + nicaragua from bows coffee roasters.
bella aurora tastes of red apple, honey, and honeycomb. the honey process on caturra gives it a naturally sweet, fruit-forward character with a smooth, syrupy finish.
the coffee is a caturra varietal sourced from honduras and nicaragua, processed using the honey method, where some of the fruit mucilage is left on the bean as it dries, contributing to its sweetness. it is a cup of excellence lot, meaning it was selected and scored by international judges through blind cupping.
filter methods such as pour over or v60 work well here, as they highlight the red apple acidity and honeycomb sweetness without adding body that might obscure them. use water around 92-94°c and a medium grind as a starting point.
your first sip from bows tells you something quiet but certain: someone here is paying attention. the victoria roaster works closely with canada specialty coffee to source beans that actually have something to say, and you can taste the difference when the cup cools slightly and the sweetness opens up. it's unhurried coffee, the kind that rewards you for slowing down on a grey pacific northwest morning, ceramic warming your palms while the rain does whatever it wants outside.
