Our new seasonal espresso has arrived:From Honduras, our Mercedes Ocotepeque espresso is a washed process coffee which balances vibrant citrus character with a deeper, caramelised flavour profile. Selected by Ferg and roasted specifically for espresso, this seasonal release works perfectly as a standalone shot, or as the centre of a black or white coffee. It brings a refreshing hit of orange up front that contrasts beautifully with an underlying dark chocolate backbone. The Ocotepeque region in Mercedes, Honduras is made up of farmsteads that range between 950 and 2,000 meters above sea level, planted on rich and fertile soil that are known for growing rich, distinctive coffees. Owing to their unusually wide range of altitudes, there is a longer harvest season that gives the producers an extended window to select the best from the harvest. Once delivered to the co-op stations by the farmers, the co-op takes care of processing, overseeing the fermentation and finishing. This allows for a higher, controlled level of quality coffee beans to be selected by a roastery along with shared costs for the farmers, giving them lower production costs and a higher rate of return. Having visited Honduras on a recent origins trip, Ferg met with local coffee farmers and producers. He spent time observing their practice and sampling their coffees. From there, he selected this lot for our next seasonal espresso. With an almost dessert like combination of zesty orange and dark chocolate, we think you'll love it. COFFEE INFO Roasted for: Espresso machines and Moka pots Taste notes: Orange & Dark Chocolate Producer: CAFESMO Varietals: Catuaí, IH-Café 90, San Ramón Process: Washed MASL: 1,280 (Metres Above Sea Level)
