honduras coffee
by dear deer coffee roasting bar ellerslie · auckland, new zealand
you'll taste caramel before milk chocolate. this is honduras shg la flor washed, a washed honduras from dear deer coffee roasting bar ellerslie.
it tastes of caramel, milk chocolate, and dark chocolate. the washed process keeps the cup clean and the chocolate character well-defined rather than fruity or fermented.
it is grown in the lempira region of honduras at strictly high grown altitude using caturra, bourbon, and typica varietals. after picking, it is washed, meaning the fruit is removed before the beans are dried.
filter methods such as pour over or drip suit this coffee well, as they highlight the clean, washed profile and let the caramel and chocolate notes come through clearly. avoid very high water temperatures that can push the dark chocolate toward bitterness.
