Honduras 2018 - 13th place Tasting NotesTasting notesThe flavors a roaster perceives in the cup — 'jasmine, apricot, black tea'. Descriptive associations, not ingredients: nothing is added to the coffee.: White grapes, honeyHoney processThe skin is removed but some sticky fruit mucilage is left on during drying. Lands between washed and natural: more sweetness and body than washed, cleaner than natural., rose, red fruit, lychee, plum Process: Honey Producer: Nahun Fernandez District: Las Flores, Santa Barbara Varietal: Parainema We are leading in to our seventh year in the mighty nation of Honduras and are blown away with seeing these coffees flourish in quality and the producers excel in their argricultural prowess. We’ve witnessed first hand their personal growth through our direct investment as a coffee roaster - just look at Nahun Fernandez and his family, this year placing 13th in the Honduras Cup of Excellence (COE) 2018. Nahun is a 3rd generation coffee grower, he has been working with new varietals and experimental lots (honeys, naturals and anaerobic fermentationAnaerobic fermentationCherries or depulped seeds ferment in sealed, oxygen-free tanks. Produces intense, unusual flavors — cinnamon, bubblegum, boozy fruit — that divide opinion.), he’s also acquired new farms through our investment which has lead to growth in every single coffee production. In 2011 Honduras suffered a bad rust attack and Nahún´s farm was no exception, he lost his whole harvest and the majority of his plantation. His family got financing and started again, replanting all the plantations, they are still repaying the loan. Proud Mary brings projects to every coffee farmer we work with and invests in coffee regions to make a real difference and induce positive social change for the future. When you buy Proud Mary Honduran coffees, this is what you’re helping us do! Roasting days: Proud Mary roast Monday-Friday during normal business hours.
