Honduras GEA NKG Bloom SHG
An organic lot from the NKG BLOOM programme, sourced from women-owned farms across seven Honduran departments: Lempira, Ocotepeque, Intibuca, Copan, La Paz, El Paraiso and Comayagua. IH90, Catuai, Caturra, Lempira and Bourbon trees grow at 1,100-1,650 metres, harvested January to April and fully washed.
Bourbon and Caturra bring sweetness and fruit, Catuai the body, and the IH90 and Lempira selections, bred for Central American conditions, keep the farms productive and the cup steady. Caramel, almond and toffee with apple and apricot, a smooth body and juicy acidity. Certified organic.
Cups this sweet from a multi-farm organic blend are rarer than they should be. We would happily drink this one every day of the week.
