Honduras La Flor - Single Origin Medium Roast

Honduras La Flor comes from high‑altitude regions where smallholder farmers have a long tradition of careful, quality‑focused cultivation. The country’s rich volcanic soil, cool mountain climate, and slow cherry maturation create the ideal conditions for producing sweet, expressive coffees. La Flor takes its name from the Spanish word for “flower,” a nod to the coffee’s naturally fragrant aromatics and elegant character in the cup.

This lot carries the SHG (Strictly High Grown) designation, meaning it was grown at around 1350 metres. At this elevation, the cherries ripen more slowly, developing denser beans with greater sweetness and complexity. It is also prepared to EP (European Preparation) standards, where the coffee is hand‑sorted to remove defects, ensuring a clean, consistent roast and a refined flavour profile.

In the cup, Honduras La Flor is bright, sweet, and delicately layered. Floral aromatics lead into citrus highlights, caramel sweetness, and a touch of dark chocolate, all carried by a smooth medium body. It’s a beautifully balanced coffee that showcases the potential of Honduras’ specialty‑growing regions — expressive, clean, and quietly distinctive.
