This elegant coffee from the celebrated Marcala region of Honduras brings a luxurious flavor profile with rich notes of cocoa, toasted almonds, tart apple and hints of warm baking spices in a complex but approachable cup. The region, known for its ideal coffee growing climate and nutrient rich volcanic soil produce a very smooth and balanced cup that belies its known reputation as one of Central America's most sought after coffees.
