Organic Honduras Liqiudambar Yellow Honey (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

Organic Honduras LIQUIDAMBAR comes to us from our friends at Royal Coffee in Emeryville, CA. Hailing from the municipality of Guascotoro in La Paz, Honduras this coffee is produced by Roberto Rene González and milled as a single farm micro-lot at RAOS (Cooperativa Regional de Agricultores Orgánicos de la Sierra). Here’s what Royal has to say about Liquidambar:

“HONDURAS FT-USA ORGANIC LIQUIDAMBAR YELLOW HONEY is produced by Roberto Rene González and milled as a single farm micro-lot at RAOS (Cooperativa Regional de Agricultores Orgánicos de la Sierra) where Roberto is a member and the general manager. Roberto and his family own a 37 acre farm called Finca Liquidámbar located in the community of Guascotoro within the municipality of San Jose in the department of La Paz, Honduras. Roberto was one of the first in his community to earn a university degree. After graduating with a degree in business management, Roberto returned home to manage RAOS and to help his family run the coffee farm. Roberto is currently working to get 19 acres of his farm formally recognized as a biological reserve. The goal is for the reserve to become a destination for tourism in the area. Finca Liquidámbar provides year-round employment to 7 people and another 30 people during the harvest. Roberto, his wife Odalma and their two children partner with local schools and local organizations for road improvements and youth activities.”

This coffee hit us with a fruit bomb and some incredible deep body. With notes of cherry juice, raisin, cola, herbal, dark chocolate this medium roast is a standout coffee in filtered drip brewing methods, but is delicious any way it is prepared. We’re really enjoying this fresh crop coffee, and we know you will too.

All orders placed by 5am PST will roast and ship the same business day. All orders placed after 5am PST will roast and ship the following business day.
