Honduras La Unión Arabica - $4 Try Me Sale!

We have been searching for more Honduran coffees because we love our San Vicente and other origins from the region. We have located a supply of anaerobically processed washed Arabicas from a farm co-operative in Honduras that really knocked our socks off. After days of test roasts we have introduced this coffee at a two-tone roast level that we feel optimizes the rich, complex profile it offers.

The producer of this coffee is Rudy Carcamo, one of the leading connectors to specialty coffee in Honduras. It is grown in La Unión on small family farms and anaerobically processed. But the coffee has been washed (skins and pulp removed), unlike our newest Robusta from Vietnam, which is a natural process (sun dried). Whereas our Robusta was dramatically changed by the long anaerobic process, this fine Arabica did not have an extended fermentation and the anaerobic process did not drastically change the taste profile, but rather simply kicked this coffee up a notch (or two) and enhanced a number of its natural taste notes of melon, starfruit, hints of chocolate and light spice, making a clean and crisp, well-rounded coffee, with a hint of acidity and lingering sweetness.

We do not add new coffees to our inventory unless they get a 5-star rating from everyone in our tasting group. This one was a hands-down winner!

8 ounce bags, please choose whole bean or drip grind. Medium Roast.
