Origin: Intibuca Region, Honduras | Producer: Emiliana Montoya | Variety: Typica | Process: Washed | Altitude: 1750 MASL | Harvest: 2025
Honduras is the largest coffee producing country in Central America. The coffee grown there is known for its complexity, sweetness and clarity.
This lot is a washed Typica produced by Emiliana Montoya on her farm Los Alcipreses, located in the Intibuca region, within the Montecillos Mountain range. Typica is one of the oldest coffee varieties still in production today and is the foundation for many other varieties. It is believed to have been native to Ethiopia before being first cultivated in Yeman, then spreading further east around Asia.
Emiliana has been growing coffee for over 20 years and is a second generation producer, following in the footsteps of her parents, who were pioneering producers in the region. Cherries are picked at peak ripeness, depulped, then fermented for 48 hours in tiled-covered tanks. The coffee dries for 20-25 days on raised bed in a dome-shaped solar dryer before being stored in hermetically sealed bags to preserve quality.
This Typica lot stood out on our cupping table for its clean and complex cup profile. Delicate, sweet notes of white peach and a Mandarin brightness give this coffee warmth and depth of flavour, making it endlessly drinkable. Finca Los Alcipreses is a very welcome return to Honduran coffee for our roastery.
