Brought to us by our partners at Bon Café, this lot is a single-farm selection from Juan Pascual's El Ocotal in La Laguna, Lempira. Bon Café works with smallholder farmers across Honduras and helps connect them with buyers to build long-term relationships. This is our first year sourcing from Juan Pascual and this release marks our first of the season from Honduras. It stood out for its sweetness, balance, and complexity.

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.
