you'll taste stone fruit before peach. this is honduras, finca las flores, a natural honduras from conscious cup coffee roasters - crystal lake.
expect peach and stone fruit from the natural process, with caramel and milk chocolate in the mid-palate and a dark chocolate finish. the light roast keeps the fruit notes pronounced rather than letting roast character take over.
this coffee comes from finca las flores in the marcala region of honduras and is naturally processed, meaning the whole cherry is dried before the bean is extracted, which contributes its pronounced fruit sweetness.
as a light roast, it suits brewing methods that allow its fruit and sweetness to come through clearly, such as pour-over or drip. avoid very high water temperatures, which can sharpen acidity at the expense of the caramel and chocolate notes.
