Honduras La Esmeralda Honey

This direct trade light roast coffee is bright, sweet, juicy, and easy drinking. When farmers process this coffee, they remove the cherry and pulp but leave the mucilage to dry on the seed. This leads to some fermentation due to the added moisture during the drying time. This honey processed coffee has the clean taste of a washed coffee with the sweet juiciness of a natural processed coffee. We think you’re gonna love it!

From our Importer De La Finca:

La Esmeralda is a new DLF Project Farm in the Comayagua region. We bought this farm in 2021 in order to continue experimental processing in the area. La Sampedrama is an under-promoted area in the Comayagua region with high altitude, volcanic soil, and is rich in culture. We wanted a farm in the area where we could have more control over the quality and consistency on larger experimental specialty lots including varietals like geisha, pink bourbon, parainema which we’ve planted and will be coming in the next few years.
