New Origins: Honduras

Our featured coffees this month both come to us from Manuel Pereira and his farm, Finca La Concepción, in Marcala, Honduras. We've been buying Manuel's coffees for components in our blends for the past three years, but have never featured them as single origins until now!

Manuel has dedicated his life to producing amazingly processed coffee and taking care of the land that it is cultivated on. The two selections we have from his farm are really special, and we hope are a good representation of the hard work put into them. 

Ater years of WhatsApp messages and emails, we'll finally be traveling to Honduras for the first time this March to strengthen the relationship and see the amazing work he does firsthand. More on that soon!

On to the coffees:

First up, exclusively on drip, the washed process from Finca La Concepción is exceptionally clean, with a flavor that will remind you of hot cocoa and marshmallows—a perfect daily drinker as we make our way from winter to spring. It's an approachable crowd-pleaser, but becomes more complex and interesting as it cools!

Next, the natural. We've been buying Manuel's natural processed coffee for several years now to add a fruity and winey note in our Jetsetter blend. It's been fantastic as a blender, but it deserves its own spot in the lineup of featured single origin coffees.This month, it will be available in-store as a pour over and brings deep notes of raspberry jam and chocolate. As it cools, you'll notice a subtle acidity and really pleasant aftertaste that makes it nearly impossible to not take another sip.
