Honduras Siguatepeque Cerro Azul

Honduras Siguatepeque Cerro Azul is an exceptional single-origin coffee from a growers' cooperative in the prime coffee-growing region of Honduras, grown at high altitudes in optimal conditions. The farmers who grow this varietal have started diversifying their vegetable crops, maintaining soil health while earning more money for their families. I like that our coffee purchase helps to support this rural community. I'm digging this Honduran coffee. It has a different profile from the El Jaguar we previously offered. Cerro Azul starts with the sweet-ish aroma of light vanilla and tobacco. In the cup, it's smooth and subtle, with the delicate flavor of pastry and buttery fresh bread. The finish comes beautifully with lingering notes of astringent walnut and cedar wood. You owe it to yourself to experience this lovely and delicious coffee. I know we are loving it here!
