Honduras Jesus Edgardo Galeas Ponce
For years, Jesus spent huge portions of his life on his motorbike, crisscrossing the notoriously rough mountain roads of Honduras to assist smallholders as they pushed to improve their quality of life through coffee. Meanwhile, Jesus has spent the scarce free time his work has afforded him running his own three plots, Across his three plots, he now manages a wide array of varieties including Parainema, Pacamara, Gesha, Sidra, Pink Bourbon, Tabi, the Bourbon and Typica which make up this specific lot. His experience with other growers served as an incubator for his own curiosity and as such, Jesus routinely produces some of the best processed coffees from Honduras. His natural coffees are consistent standouts, boasting deep complexity and structure. For this lot, four pickers harvested cherries daily, floating them to remove defects, and storing them under sealed conditions to undergo low-oxygen fermentation for 48 hours. They were then dried on raised beds in a solar dryer for 35 days before being placed in hermetically sealed bags to preserve their quality.

What a fruit bomb! Expect bright acidity, with notes of red grape, kiwi and soft fruit, cooling to a dry sherry finish.
About Honduras
Arriving in the late 1700s, Honduran coffee production really kicked off in the 21st century, but has grown ferociously, to make it the highest volume coffee producer in Central America. Harvested between November and March, expect complex fruit notes, juiciness and a lively acidity.
