Honduras Reserva Pacavita

Bates Bros Coffee roasts this single origin Honduras bean to a medium level. Expect golden raisin, bittersweet chocolate, brown spice and vanilla in the cup. The roaster says the medium roast is meant to bring out the aroma and profile.

The coffee grows in western Honduras, in the clay soil of the mountain Pico Congolan. On the roaster's own scale, medium means the beans come out after first crack and well before second, which they call a City+ roast. Those four tasting notes are what the roaster expects from the bean, and it describes the result as an excellent morning cup.
