Personal Note:
This direct trade microlot from Delmer & Joel Banegas features the ubiquitous Catuai variety with a twist - it's natural processed. But if you're thinking "oh look another intense fruity natural", think again! This coffee is warm and grounded with excellent body and an almost velvety texture.
The Banegas brothers aren’t like family to the green coffee supplier, they are family! Joel and Delmer’s farm, Finca El Conejo, is one of the few experimental coffee farms in the Comayagua region of Honduras and they are out to make waves. With 5 generations of coffee farming and degrees in Agricultural Engineering behind them, every lot is a microlot and every microlot is a chance to try something new and delicious. With this microlot, their goal was to elevate the humble Catuai variety. Catuai is a variety usually sought after for its more “conventional” attributes – chocolatey, nutty and creamy. It cleans up well when fully washed, but usually gets stuck under that boring category of being a great blender, since not much stands out on its own. So the brothers decided to carefully dry process it and really let the bean shine.
