Blind Assessment

Richly sweet, deep-toned. Nutella, mandarin, red plum, marjoram, cedar in aroma and cup. Gentle, balanced acidity; syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. Aftertaste is quite aromatic, leads with notes of cedar and Nutella.

Notes

Produced by smallholding farmers of the RAOS Cooperative from trees of the Bourbon, Catuai, Caturra, Lempira, Ihcafe 90 and Typica varieties of Arabica, and processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and flesh are removed from the beans before they are dried). Imported by Royal Coffee. Handlebar Coffee was founded in Santa Barbara in 2011 by two former professional cyclists, and the couple now operate two coffee shops, as well.

Bottom Line

A classic Hondo profile: sweet, balanced, with a plush mouthfeel, complicated here by a cedary throughline.
