Buds, we've arrived at our 1st Honduran feature of the year; beginning with one that so clearly expresses why we love the coffee from this region: it's sweet, fruity, & dynamic. To boot, it's from a favorite farmer of ours. Let's dig into the details! Founded in 2008, Los Tucanes sits at an altitude of 1500 meters above sea level. Generally speaking, the higher a coffee grows, the denser the seed gets, & the more sugar it has to caramelize during a roast, which is ideal. But sometimes high altitudes can be challenging in humid places like Honduras: moisture can create freezing conditions overnight. So it's all the more impressive when a producer like Genaro can walk that fine line & come out the other end so successfully. Beyond that he processes coffees like a champ! This coffee (IH90 & Pacas varieties) spent 15 hrs fermenting before being washed of fruit fibers, yielding coffee that is sweet as heck with a lot of razzle dazzle too! We're grateful to roast coffee like this. It clearly only happens with careful & dedicated work from farmers like Genaro. Thanks Genaro! And cheers, buds :)

*This coffee's price was inflated/taxed by TRUMP tariffs, which are paid by US companies & consumers, not by businesses, people, or governments of the countries coffee is grown in/exported from. BTC believes this governmental policy unfairly targets US business & consumers and disproportionally taxes middle and working class people. To boot, coffee cannot be grown at scale in the US, ultimately making a tariff on coffee a pointless gesture and completely voluntary act of price inflation from this administration. If you feel the same way, we ask that you be sure to make your opinion known OFTEN to your reps and with/in your community.
