Description
Nestled near the pyramids of the Mayan King known in the records as “18 Rabbit” (from which this coffee pulls its name),
18 Rabbit (18 Conejos) is a collective of farms all owned by different members of the Zelaya Ontreras family. Dulce Marlen, the owner of Finca Dulce Luna, is the matriarch of the family, and the owner of 18 Rabbit exports. Her and her husband were pioneers of both organic and Biodynamic farming techniques, being intentional about naturally regenerating the soil they use for their agriculture. Members of the 18 Rabbit family have placed in the top 10 for Honduras’ Cup of Excellence, and work together to create unique fermentations and cupping experiences for their partners.
Tasting Notes: A good clean cup high rated cup of Honduran coffee. Good cup from light to dark. At light roasts it will have some lemony acidity and a sweet edge, pulls some balance with a more peanut like nuttiness. Medium roasts introduce a more chocolaty than nutty tone and mute up some of the citric making it a bit smoother of a cup but also less complex, good daily drinking territory. Darker roasts taste nice but will have some roasty/smoky characteristics along with a good body. A rich and sweet cup for dark roast fans.
Roasting Notes: An easy coffee to roast. Even roasting with medium/low chaff levels. Getting just a touch past 1st crack is good for the lighter roast points. A little sheen on the surface will mark medium roasts, a hint of oil on a bean or two for darker roasts.
