Honduras La Paz Washed

This organic women's co-op has about 100 contributing farmers in it, and they all pool their coffee together and get paid well for their contributions to the harvest. The coffee comes in the southern part of Honduras in La Paz.

This is an above-average washed process Honduras. It's not microlot quality, but it is nicer than standard Honduras. It's right in the middle. The milk chocolate, creamy, buttery, smoothness that Honduras is known for is all here. In very light roasts you’ll find a sweet lemon walnut, and right before the 2nd cracks is my personal favorite — just a normal, creamy-smooth traditional clean cup of coffee with slight hint of floral pear. You can take it into the 2nd cracks where it’s bold and rich but not charcoal (in thanks to the high altitude it’s grown at) Take it darker yet and it makes reasonably good French Roast, though I would suggest a Peru works better if you have one on hand.

Honduras coffee is a great value. For people who are tired of experimenting with exotic, complex coffees, this one is for you. Honduras does not keep as well as most coffees, and you don't want to hold on to this for more than 6 months. These greens will be fresh until at least December, but don't push it.
