Honduras has been traditionally thought of as a producer of nutty, chocolatey balanced ‘blender’ coffees. But farms like Valentina are looking to the changing tastes of the speciality market and producing more refined, complex flavour profiles.
This honey processed lot is de-pulped and dry fermented for 2-3 days before sun drying for 12-15 days. The result is a floral fruit sweetness reminiscent of vanilla and raspberry jam, and still with a more typical characteristic of milk chocolate.
The producer, Carlos Mejia, is also the manager of the Co-operative that processes and exports this coffee. This Co-op has been handed down through five generations of his family, and now includes 40 neighbouring producers who form the alliance.

I’ve been waiting for a coffee like this to cross our path - subtle sweet honey processing that is a dream espresso with milk.
