Honduras Pedro Turcios

A classic rich and smooth dark chocolate and walnut profile, suitable for all kinds of coffee. RCNY writes: “Pedro José Urquía Turcios is one of the new trailblazers who has been brought up with the COMSA philosophy. He has his own farm called La María Bonita (named after his mother), where he cultivates coffee with organic farm management practices he learned at COMSA. Pedro also practices meticulous harvesting standards, which includes selectively picking the Colombia Amarillo varietal from a 2.5 acre parcel using brix measurements to determine optimum ripeness, followed by hand sorting the cherries, and cherry floating to remove less dense and damaged beans. Pedro’s dried coffee is transported to COMSA’s warehouse and dry-mill facility where coffee is received, cupped and selected for export. COMSA’s preparation ensures traceability and quality control throughout the post-harvest process, which is a vital resource for establishing higher prices for producers.” Varietal: Yellow Colombia, grown at 1670 masl, fully washed.
