The Dark, Sherry-Wine Honduras
#1047 Honduras Zopilote Natural
12 oz whole bean dark coffee
When the dark roast artists of Fundamental Coffee Company tell us they’ve got something new for us, I always get excited. True to expectation, this coffee practically leapt off the cupping table with big, bold flavors. In fact, we fell so hard for this coffee, we reserved the entire tiny microlot for Bean Box customers! Exclusive to us, Honduras Zopilote Natural is a real “wow” coffee, bold but lively, and it takes to a darker roast like a dream. The luscious profile reminds us of aged Pedro Ximinez sherry wine. A departure from the usual red fruit of natural coffees, this one is spicier, more savory, with exotic notes of dates, figs, raisins, a syrupy, tropical-fruit body and a long, complex finish of caramelized sugars.
This microlot comes from El Paraiso, a growing region in central Honduras that’s become noteworthy for producing this year’s Cup of Excellence award winner. Honduras has a small, but growing, specialty scene, one that lacks more for marketing panache than quality product-- but head-turning coffees like this one are paving the way for more recognition within America and abroad. Fine Honduran coffees are aromatic and fragrant, known for nutty, caramel, and vanilla tones, with a quietly vibrant set of fruit and citrus flavors. Because of the caramelly notes, Hondurans are versatile coffees, with profiles that really sing-- like this one-- within a darker, toastier profile.
Scott, from Fundamental Coffee Company, is a world-class roaster and cupper, and his love of darker coffee is a rare and special fixture of the Seattle coffee scene. We’re excited to offer you a taste of his latest and greatest, the sherry-wine Honduras Zopilote Natural: a limited, Bean Box exclusive. Reserve your bag today, and enjoy a savory, dark-roasted Central American cup like you’ve never tasted before.

★★★★★ | ★★★★★ This one you sent in lieu of the unavailable blend that I had ordered, and neither myself nor my husband or in love....with the coffee I mean! It leaves lingering aftertaste of bitterness. No worries, most of your coffees are wonderful. Stay safe. |

★★★★★ | ★★★★★ Taste buds blown! Really delicious, smooth, yes to the caramelly finish-I got that! If I had the time, I could just sit around all day, read a good book, & drink Zopilote! |
