Detour - Honduras Cabañas Espresso

WHOLE BEAN

Tasting notes: Floral Citrus, Sparkling

It feels deep, smooth, and fruity like brown sugar sprinkled on a double chocolate blueberry muffin, purple grapes covered in extra dark chocolate and drinking a rich cabernet franc in front of the last outdoor fire while listening to Boyz to Men’s End of the Road.

Honduras Cabana Los Planes is a field blend of mostly Lempira, Catuai, and Pache. The naturally processed lot is submerged in a tank with water to remove floating cherries. The cherries are put directly on African beds or raised beds to be dried; the drying is stirred every half hour to ensure uniform drying, lasting 20 days. The washed lot is dried on raised African-style beds and circulated every 30 minutes for 15 days to ensure proper drying.

The Cabanas Rise Series is an effort to support and help smaller producing communities in their quest to improve coffee quality by purchasing larger volumes at premium prices. The series is a joint effort between our partner importer, Collaborative Coffee and the Paz family's Beneficio San Vicente in Honduras. The goal is to help these up-and-coming farmers in the Cabanas region by providing milling & logistic services and actively working with farmers on new strategies to improve farm-level practices and cup quality.
