Honduran Premium Intibucá

Honduran Premium Intibucá Coffee is known for its high quality and rich flavor, often coming from the Intibucá region in the western part of Honduras. Coffee from this area is cultivated at high altitudes, typically above 1,200 meters, where the cooler climate and fertile soil contribute to the development of complex flavors.

Key Characteristics:

Flavor Profile:

• • Balanced Acidity: Intibucá coffee is known for having a balanced yet bright acidity, which gives it a crisp and clean taste.
  • Flavor Notes: The coffee often has a sweet, smooth profile with notes of caramel, chocolate, nuts, and sometimes tropical fruits or berries. Some varieties also feature hints of citrus or florals.
  • Full Body: It usually has a full, rounded body, making it a satisfying and rich cup.

    Growing Conditions:

    • Coffee in the Intibucá region is grown at high altitudes, typically between 1,200 and 1,800 meters, where the cooler temperatures slow down the maturation process of the beans. This slow maturation allows for more complex sugars and flavors to develop, contributing to the high quality of the coffee.
    • The region benefits from volcanic soil, which is rich in nutrients that enhance the flavor of the coffee.

       

    • Processing: Honduran coffee is often washed (wet-processed), which is a method that enhances the clarity and brightness of the coffee, bringing out its natural flavors while reducing any earthy or fermented notes.

  • Honduran coffee, especially from the Intibucá region, is gaining recognition for its unique combination of sweetness, balanced acidity, and complexity. It's a great choice for coffee enthusiasts looking for a smooth yet flavorful cup with diverse tasting notes.
