More Info
The processing of coffee produced by Carlos Amaya follows the Honey method, a meticulous technique that preserves the fruit's natural sweetness. After harvesting, the coffee cherries are partially pulped, retaining some of the mucilage around the beans, which helps develop a rich and complex aromatic profile.
The drying process is carefully carried out on raised beds in the sun, where the beans are spread out for a period ranging from 14 to 21 days. This slow and natural process, exposed to the fresh mountain air and the warmth of the sun, enhances the unique characteristics of the coffee, imparting notes of honey and fruit that delight the palate.
The botanical variety used, Icatú, is another testament to Carlos Amaya's dedication to quality. This hybrid, known for its resilience and distinctive flavor, perfectly adapts to the mountainous terrains of Marcala, producing beans that capture the essence of the region.
Each cup of Carlos Amaya coffee is a tribute to tradition and quality, an experience that celebrates the rich heritage of Honduran coffee and elevates your coffee moments to new heights. Discover the authentic and memorable taste of a coffee crafted with love and commitment, and let yourself be transported to the lush landscapes of Honduras with every sip.
