Al Lopez - Natural Parainema

This coffee has been curated through Finca Terrerito, a 5th generation family farm from Corquin, Honduras. This natural blend of Parainema and Obata create a juicy, sangria-like sweetness, that leaves a nice finish to remember it by.

Roasting this coffee was easy to repeat. The coffee took some time gaining heat, but retained it's momentum as I approached first crack. The goal was to develop a juicy mouthfeel and a berry-like acidity, but roast it a little more towards a medium to cut those winey characteristics.
