Everything about this coffee is big. The Pacamara variety produces big cherries, big seeds, and big flavors, and this lot was produced by one of the biggest names in Honduran coffee: the Caballero family. Together, the Caballeros have earned more Cup of Excellence titles than any other family in the country. After featuring a natural lot from last year’s harvest, this year we selected a washed lot. Under the expert care of Marysabel Caballero and Moisés Herrera, it showcases the distinct character of a hybrid variety that can be difficult to grow yet can yield exceptional results.

How To Brew

We recommend starting with a 1:18 coffee-to-water ratio, which provides an excellent total extraction level and maximizes flavor pulled out of the ground coffee. For our single origin coffees we recommend a pour over method either on a Chemex, V60 or Kalita Wave on a 5 or 6 grind setting if you are ordering from Intelligentsiacoffee.com.
