Honduran SHG Marcala/San Marcos

Honduran SHG Marcala / San Marcos — Shade High Grown Single Origin

Region: Central America (Copan Mountains, Honduras)  |  Roast: Medium  |  Elevation: Above 4,000 feet  |  Origin: Single Origin

One of our personal favorites — and a perfect starting point for anyone new to Blessed Bean Coffee. Our Honduran SHG Marcala/San Marcos is grown at high elevation in the Copan Mountain region of western Honduras, producing a bean that is more intense, more full-bodied, and more complex than lower-grown coffees.

Tasting Notes

• Body: Full and satisfying — more intense than lower-elevation Honduran coffees
• Acidity: Low — smooth and easy-drinking
• Flavor: Clean, balanced, and deeply enjoyable
• Elevation: Above 4,000 feet — slower growth = more complex flavor

What Is SHG (Shade High Grown)?

SHG stands for Shade High Grown — coffee cultivated at high altitude under shade trees. The cooler temperatures slow the bean's development, concentrating sugars and creating a denser, more flavorful bean. The result is a noticeably more intense and full-bodied cup.
