Coffee from Honduras holds a special place in our hearts. We use it in blends to provide a delicious chocolate and nutty backbone, but it's also amazing as a single origin and we are stoked to be shining a light on this organic coffee from Bon Cafe.
It's sweet an chocolatey like you'd expect from a Honduran coffee. It also has that toasted nuttiness that we love. This one has a lot of body, so cashew felt like the right tasting note. It almost has a creaminess to the mouthfeel. It's not very acidic, but it has a subtle citrus quality that reminds us of orange zest. It's a delicious cup of made-in-Canada coffee!
From Catalogue Coffee:
"This sought-after blend is a collaboration between a mix of producers ranging in age (including one woman), all committed to the organic cultivation of coffee with assistance from our partner in Honduras, Bon Café. Handpicked cherries are typically washed at ecological wet mills on-site (purchased with the help of Bon Café) to save water, as well as time on depulping and washing (which can be performed simultaneously, reducing water consumption by 80% in comparison to traditional wet mills and limiting harm to beans during the process). This also permits the recycling of pulp waste for conversion into organic fertilizer. Honey water is treated in oxidation ponds and weed control is managed by hand with machetes to avoid use of herbicides.
All our producers for this lot have managed to extend their growing and process capacities through organic practices, with several able to offer employment to their communities as they expand."
We love the story behind this coffee and we're proud to be supporting farmer and community-friendly initiatives like Bon Cafe. We're honoured to be able to roast this incredible coffee right here in Canada for you to enjoy!
