Expect a sweet and smooth coffee with notes of milk chocolate, red fruits and herbs from this Kenyan cultivar grown in Honduras.

Most of you know that the SL28 cultivar is commonly grown in Kenya and a big reason why Kenyan coffees are so fruity and intense. Still, we have found that when planted in other countries, the profile can change quite a bit. Like the SL28 from Finca Tamanna in Colombia, the SL28 from Marysabel and Moises has a more subtle fruity flavour profile. I can still taste flavours of red berries, and delicate floral notes but they are not as intense as in the SL28 coffee from Jobneel and his farm Nacimiento further north in Honduras or the coffees we buy in Kenya. This year the Caballero’s SL28 coffee has a juicy mouthfeel with herbal and red berry notes with a chocolaty finish.
