Description

Ember – Honduras | Medium Roast

Flavor Notes: Caramel • Citrus • Floral

Ember comes from the celebrated highland region of Santa Bárbara, Honduras, where diverse elevations and rich volcanic soil shape coffees with remarkable sweetness and clarity. The environment here produces a profile that feels warm and grounded, yet naturally bright — a balance that makes Honduran coffees so consistently rewarding.

This lot from San Vicente is fully washed, a process that highlights the coffee’s clean structure and layered sweetness. Careful depulping, rinsing, and slow drying allow the natural character of the varieties — Catimor, Bourbon, Lempira, and Pacas — to shine without distraction.

In the cup, Ember opens with smooth caramel sweetness, lifted by lively citrus notes and finished with soft floral undertones that add a gentle elegance as it cools. It’s approachable, steady, and quietly complex — a comforting daily cup with just the right amount of lift.

The Story Behind Ember

Santa Bárbara is one of Honduras’ most renowned coffee regions — a place where smallholder farmers work steep mountainsides shaped by cool air, fertile soil, and generations of craft. The coffees grown here are known for their balance and clarity, offering sweetness and brightness in equal measure.

Ember reflects that landscape and lineage — warm, steady and shaped by tradition. It’s a coffee shaped by hands, heritage, and the quiet fire of a people who keep their craft burning year after year.
