Cupping Notes: Milk Chocolate, with hints of Cherry and slight Sweet Lemon         

  This is an S.H.G. (Strictly High Grown) specialty grade coffee

    Honduran coffee beans are decaffeinated through the Swiss Water process, and medium roasted well into the second crack to a consistent deep brown color.

Beans are soaked in hot water and then the water is run through a filter removing the caffeine. The beans are then dumped back into the water and slowly dried. The result is a flavorful coffee that in our blind tests is indistinguishable from our regular Colombia Mile High.

High mountains provide cool temperatures to allow development of more proteins and fats in the seed, than coffee grown at lower altitudes. 3500 to 4000 feet seems to be the level where you begin to notice a denseness in the coffee beans. They are much heavier than low altitude beans -except in Hawaii where the trade winds cool the coffee plants at sea level to the same temps as the mountains in South America. Slow roasting these "SHG" beans (Strictly High Grown) brings out the exquisite flavors that you find in our Honduras Water Decaf.

Photo:  We have visited 'beneficios' in Honduras and Nicaragua where coffee beans are prepared for export. Usually we have a chance to taste the current crop. Samples from the surrounding farms are roasted in small roasters, then ground and placed in cups. Then one of the workers brings heated water and fills each cup to the brim. After about five minutes, the coffee is ready for tasting.

With a small spoon, the floating coffee layer is broken and the spoon filled. Then the taster slurps the coffee off the spoon and swirls it around his (or her) mouth, holding it for a few seconds before spitting it out in a cup. The flavor notes are very evident in the next few seconds, and notes are taken.
