The grading of our Honduras single origin coffee makes for the ultimate gourmet cup of java! This is an exquisite organic coffee featuring a tasing profile of caramel, spice and brown sugar. We have 1,500 growers, who are also members from Cafe Organico Marcala. This coffee features a variety of Bourbon, Catuai, Caturra, Lempira, and Typica from the region Marcala, La Paz, Honduras at an altitude of 1300 - 1700M. The beans are grown in clay mineral soil and are fully washed and sun dried.
Certification: SHGCertification/Grading of SHG means that the coffee was grown at high altitude, usually over 1,200 meters above sea level. At higher altitude the coffee is grown in cooler air and therefore takes longer to mature, flower and produce its berries. This longer maturation period allows more time for the bean to develop and enhance its flavor. The bean (seed of the fruit) absorbs more of the fruitiness of the surrounding pulp. It also gets harder. The harder, more dense, beans can usually be roasted darker without destroying the nuances in flavor. You'll see a range of roast levels from these beans from light to quite dark.
EP (European Preparation) specifies that the raw beans are all hand sorted to remove any defective beans and foreign material
ORG Specifies that the coffee is organically grown
