Honduras CAFESCOR washed
This is a fresh arrival from the CAFESCOR co-op which stands for Cafes Especiales Corquin, a certified-organic Fairtrade association of 131 producers that was founded in 2014 in Lempira, Honduras. The farmers own their own land in the mountains, with its fertile soil, shade trees, and organic fertilization.
We like this coffee as a medium roast, similar to a Colombia roast. It has good thick body to it, and a lot of dried fruit notes and a little breadiness. Fig Newton was the first thought, but really anything in the family -- date, raisin, cookie, slight nuttiness, slight molasses sweetness.
It's altogether pleasant, and different from the other Honduras washed coffees that we've had this year. This is our first time buying a coffee from the CAFESCOR group, and I look forward to exploring more of their offerings in the future.
