TIM WENDELBOE - Nacimiento Pacas | Honduras - Washed - Pacas

Tim Wendelboe Coffee Roasters is located in Oslo, Norway

From Tim Wendelboe

This early picking of the Pacas cultivar from finca Nacimiento makes a coffee with subtle fruity flavours and notes of cacao in the finish.

For a long time we have asked Jobneel to separate his coffees by cultivar and harvest date. As a result we have not only gotten coffees with different flavour profiles due to the variations in cultivars but we have also noticed that the flavour intensity tend to increase from the start of the harvest in January / February towards the end of the harvest in June. This is most likely due to the later pickings are harvested from the higher altitudes on the farm.

This particular lot is coming from the lower part of finca Nacimiento and is from the beginning of this years harvest, picked in February. The altitude in this part of the farm is around 1500-1600 meters above sea level which gives a medium intense acidity with subtle fruity flavours and a chocolaty finish .

This is a great example of a washed Pacas cultivar from the Santa Barbara mountain in Honduras which is a region famous for its many Cup of Excellence winning Pacas coffees.
