Getting product details...
One such farmer is Carlos Mejía Rodríguez, whose commitment to selective harvesting and innovative drying techniques at El Chollo has paid off with this delicious micro lot. Carlos ensures that only ripe red cherry is processed at this small farm of less than three hectares, and once processed the coffee is dried on raised beds in solar driers. Keeping the coffee protected from the cool, often damp harvest season in driers like this helps quality and product longevity in Honduras. This may seem unusual, but while neighbouring countries can more readily rely on warm dry conditions to dry their coffee, the picking season in high areas of Honduras often has more in common climatically with a late September walk in the Trossachs. Within the safer environment of the solar driers the drying can be managed over a two week period, allowing the true characteristics of farm and variety to be preserved in the coffee.
Carlos' coffee has fast become a favourite in our café's for it's clarity and sublime fruit notes that shine through as a filter. It has a refined, almost effervescent structure and stone fruit characteristics dominated by ripe plums. Underneath a little walnut, vanilla and milk chocolate support the fruit notes without detracting from their clarity.
