DAK Coffee Roasters is located in Amsterdam, Netherlands

From DAK

Hazel Nuts is the perfect coffee for milk-based drinks and from longtime partners, Marysabel Caballero & Moises Herrera. This natural Catuaí grown in Honduras is round, silky with tasting notes of hazelnut, cacao nibs and blackberry.

Moises began producing Naturals 3 or so years ago, initially only starting with 30 bags. Drying Natural coffees is very difficult in Marcala because of the humid climate and the rain experienced during the drying period. Moises has worked hard over the years to perfect the process, and in doing so has also showed Fabio, his father-in-law, the same techniques. Where they are processing the coffees as Naturals, they are picking ripe cherry and drying on covered raised beds. Initially the layer of cherry must be thin and as the coffee dries you can increase the thickness of the drying cherry. Cherry can take 20-40 days to dry depending on the temperatures. La Pedro is a farm at 1620 masl which Marysabel and Moises purchased in 1995.
