The Story Behind the Cup
This September, Yahava brings you a vibrant natural-processed coffee from the steep, cool hills of Montecillos, Honduras. Grown by Ernelio Ortiz at Finca El Pedrero, this coffee is a blend of IHCAFE 90 and Catuai varietals grown at 1750 MASL. It’s processed using anaerobic fermentation, where ripe cherries are sealed and fermented before drying—a method that deepens the coffee's fruit complexity and body.
Expect a rich, syrupy profile bursting with fresh berry and cooked blueberry notes, balanced with mellow caramelizing sweetness and juicy acidity. This is a beautifully layered coffee, reflective of the growing momentum for high-end specialty offerings out of Honduras. It’s traceable, unique, and loaded with character.
