Specialty beans from Honduras roasted at Heresy by the 2020 Polish Roasting Vice-Champion. Light roast, designed for pour-over methods or cup brewing. The beans have an elegant, light floral and fruity profile. Country: Honduras Region: Las Flores, Santa Barbar Producer: Roberto Sabillon Farm: Las Flores Varietal: Pacas Processing: Washed Altitude: 1550 m a.s.l. Harvest: March 2021 Cupping score: 87 / 100 punktów PROCESSING The purest form of washed. A classic of the genre. After harvesting, the coffee is immediately depulped and put into a tank. There it ferments for 24 hours and then it's washed. Drying on African beds, about 18 days. THE FARM In 2011, Roberto's farm was attacked by a scabby disease, coffee leaf rust. He lost basically all his trees. Frustrated, he stopped growing coffee for four more years. In 2015, his neighbour made it to the Cup of Excellence finals and that revived hope in Roberto! He started over and today produces gorgeous, classic Santa Barbara microlots. And you're annoyed because you can't pass a mission in GTA. ROASTER'S COMMENT One of those coffees that you cup blindly, but you know anyway - washed Santa Barbara! Elegant, this time without powerful bass, but red fruits and florals play first fiddle here. Such a silk for the mouth! PACKAGING The coffee is packed in a brown jar made of PET, 100% recyclable or reusable. In case you're thinking "oh no, plastic!", bear in mind that standard coffee packaging is also made of plastic (and a few other materials, making it often harder to recycle). We also thought about glass, but it's heavier, more expensive, breakable and, wait for it, has the same or greater (sic!) environmental impact! A plastic jar turns out to be pretty eco-friendly, just remember to put it in the right container, or find a creative way to reuse it at home.
