The various flavour profiles include fruity (tamarind fruit and lemon zest), nutty (almond and coconut) and chocolatey undertones. Honduras makes an ideal espresso, sweet caramel filter coffee and combines exceptionally well with milk-based coffees.

About Honduras Coffee

The earliest reported plantations in Honduras date as far back as the early 19th century, where it arrived from the Caribbean. It was introduced under then-Spanish ownership but really started gaining ground off after gaining independence. It was second to Banana exports, which were owned and driven by larger U.S. companies up through the 20th century. In the early 2000s, the Coffee industry finally gained legs and is considered a primary cash crop along with Bananas.
