In the lush mountains of central Honduras, Orbin carefully tends his trees throughout the growing season. His watchful eye ensures the sweetest, flavor packed cherries at harvest. The pacas variety he grows is known for its intense sugars and deep fruit notes. Washed processing is used after harvest to ensure a clear, crisp presentation of both terroir and variety ensuring this coffees big sugars end up in our final brew.
Orbin Orellana's commitment to care delivers in this beautiful presentation of one of Honduras best varieties. In the cup we taste ripe green apple, deep brown sugar, and canelé.
