This lot is a blend of three different varieties that work together to create a harmonious cup. The semi-washed processing, in which elements of washed and natural preparation are combined, has a lasting influence on the taste profile and texture (i.e. how the coffee feels on the tongue). The cup here is richer and also fruitier. The Santa Bárbara region of Honduras is known for its high-quality coffee production, especially at higher altitudes. Growing at altitudes such as the 1,450 meters you indicate results in slower ripening of the coffee fruits, which contributes to a more intense and fuller taste of the coffee. The cooler temperatures and unique soil conditions of this region contribute to the unique quality and distinctive flavors of the coffee. The lot (No. 1651) from the 2022/23 harvest from the Saint Nicolaus farm is a blend of three different varieties: Lempira, Ihcafe 90, Parainema. There are only 15 bags of this particular variety in total - that's quite a small amount for one harvest. Overall, the three varieties form a balanced taste profile that produces only a few acids, but a high level of sweetness and pleasant chocolate notes.
