Origin & Farmer Highlight

This coffee comes from fifth-generation coffee farmers and entrepreneurs, Joel and Delmer, who were given a plot of land by Joel's father to start growing coffee. Delmer took full responsibility for maintaining the land and workers while Joel decided to go to college to study agricultural engineering and specialize in coffee. They have joined forces to make Finca El Conejo one of the few experimental coffee farms in the Comayagua region.

 

Tastes Throughout the Cup

Tasting notes: Vanilla, Chocolate, Orange Zest

At the first sip, you’ll be greeted with warm and sweet notes of vanilla and chocolate. As you finish, you’ll get that good orange zest finish to top it off with some subtle citrus, which stands out more and more as the cup cools.
