About
Roaster's comment: Mostly chocolate and sweetness in taste, such as cookie with jam. If you scared of washed process - this one is your choose for basic sweet espresso. About farmer and farm: Las Botijas - small region in Honduras, that is more and more popular in specialty coffee world, due to high altitude, ideal microclimat and farmers focused on quality, not quantity. Farms from Botijas region settled on mountains terrain at altitude 1400-1800 masl. Climat in region is quit cold and humid. Combined with volcanic soils, this creates a favorable environment for the slow ripening of coffee cherries. Process: natural Cherries handpicked, sorted. After that goes drying phase on raised beds and patio for drying, until moisture level reach 10,5-11,5%
