Origin and Processing
It grows in Chinacla, La Paz, a high-altitude area of Honduras where slower ripening encourages a greater concentration of sugars and a richer cup profile. The lot is linked to Finca El Puente, an origin especially known for consistency and careful work with both varieties and processing methods.
In this case, the natural process enhances the sweeter and fruitier side of the coffee, bringing more density, more roundness, and a very pleasing texture in the cup. The result is a coffee with character, plenty of fruit, and a deeply integrated chocolate base.
