Coffee from Honduras
Honduras is the largest coffee producer in Central America and the region's fastest quality riser — Santa Bárbara and Marcala lots now place in international competitions that ignored the country twenty years ago.
The change came from investment in drying and in traceable micro-lots. Honduran coffee had long been sold as anonymous commodity volume; separating farms and drying properly turned out to be most of the problem.
Expect caramel, red fruit and a rounded acidity, with the Santa Bárbara mountains producing the most distinctive and the most expensive lots.
