Honduras Kingdom Growers

I love this coffee for my cold brew.  It also makes a great espresso!  This is the second time I have purchased it and this new crop is as good as the last. Below is from our green bean supplier:

This is a really beautiful Honduran coffee. This coffee has won and placed in the top three for America’s Best Cold Brew Competition. Honduras Kingdom Growers coffee is grown on the picturesque slopes of the Montecillos Mountain Range by a cooperative of small, Honduran coffee growers dedicated to the production of high-quality, sustainable coffee as a whole community. Each year the Honduras Kingdom Growers cooperative works with approximately 200 small farm holders, providing them with access to an expanding eco-friendly knowledge base with a variety of training and farm management resources, including proper techniques for processing and milling. Honduras Kingdom Growers farmers work together with the goal of increasing yields while collectively raising income for everyone’s benefit. Producers here have realized the need for high grade, specialty coffee. The farms generally range in size from 1 – 12 acres and are spread between elevations of 4,000 to 5,200 feet. The lots are handpicked and centrally processed to ensure ideal cup quality. The Montecillos region is comprised of the smaller locales of La Paz, Comayagua, Santa Barbara and Intibuca; it is one of six major, Honduran coffee-growing regions as defined by The Honduran Institute of Coffee, IHCAFE. Montecillos is known for its coffee with fruity, peach and citrus profiles, with a pleasing aftertaste and smooth body. The region is mainly comprised of Bourbon, Catuí, Caturra and Pacas varietals.

Cupping Notes: Well balanced, sweet citrus fragrance, good acidity with sweet orange flavor, molasses, and a creamy body and finish.
