Honduras SHG EP

Arabica washed strictly high grown

This coffee is grown in hilly and mountainous areas, where the volcanic soil is the base for an excellent washed Arabica. At these high altitudes, the beans grow slower and enjoy a long, slow maturation that gives the coffee a full body and a unique aroma.

Classic Line

In a medium to dark roast this coffee adds sweetness and a flavour of nuts and chocolate to the blend.

In a lighter roast it supports mild complex acidities and floral notes.
