Blind Assessment
Displays a fundamentally pleasing balance of bitter tones, sweetness, and low-toned, roast-nuanced fruit, but ultimately seems restrained and faded. Probably last year's crop; the new crop may bring more liveliness and nuance to the cup.
Notes
Grown, exported and roasted by a family owned business, the Honduras Coffee Company. This subtle blend of roasts is named for the family patriarch, Anastacio, who recently retired from farming at an age of over 80. Visit
