A rare washed-process Gesha from Belén Gualcho, grown high in the western highlands of Honduras and processed for the clarity of a washed coffee.
Scored by IHCAFE, Instituto Hondureño del Café, Honduras’s official national coffee authority. 87.50 points (IHCAFE Regional cupping, June 2026), 2025/2026 harvest.
Cup profile (IHCAFE HQ laboratory cupping):
Brown sugar and honey aromatics with citrus.
Brown sugar and panela sweetness with a lime-citrus note in the cup.
This is our washed-process lot: high-altitude, shade-grown, and processed for clarity, a clean and structured cup defined by sweetness and citrus brightness.
The coffee is grown under native pine and Inga canopy. The washed process removes the fruit before drying, producing a cup that is defined by the bean itself rather than fermentation character.
