la esmeralda is a pacamara varietal from marcala, honduras, roasted by caribe coffee co. roastery. marcala is a high-altitude growing region known for producing well-defined, expressive coffees. the honey process, which leaves some fruit mucilage on the bean during drying, gives this coffee its sweetness and body. in the cup you get jasmine and floral aromatics alongside caramel, brown sugar, honey, and honeycomb, making it a naturally sweet, fragrant coffee with layered sweetness and a soft finish. it works well brewed as a pour-over or filter to let the floral and caramel notes come through cleanly.
