colibrí shg is a honey-processed coffee from honduras, grown at high altitude (shg, strictly high grown) and built from a blend of caturra and pacamara varietals. honey processing leaves some fruit mucilage on the bean during drying, which pushes sweetness and body forward. expect red apple and stone fruit up front, tropical fruit in the middle, and a finish that moves through caramel, honey, and honeycomb, with a winey edge that adds complexity. it suits pour-over or filter methods well, where that fruit clarity and sweetness can open up fully. keep your water around 93°c and a medium-fine grind to avoid masking the softer fruit notes.
