La Orquidea from Nordbeans is a coffee that carries the sunshine of the misty hills of Santa Barbara. You will be greeted by the delicious Pacas variety with lower acidity and a rich body. The combination of mirabelle plums, yellow apples, and hazelnuts creates a sweet and fruity flavor that is balanced yet distinctive enough to keep you coming back for more. These beans are perfect for filter brewing, Aeropress, or even Chemex – whether you enjoy them in the morning or during an afternoon break, they are sure to bring you joy.
Behind this exceptional flavor is none other than Benjamin Paz, a name that commands recognition and respect in the world of specialty coffee. Benjamin is not only a farmer, but also the heart of the entire coffee community in Santa Barbara. On his farm in El Cedral, 1,650 meters above sea level, he carefully oversees every step of the process, from cultivation to processing. In addition, he connects small growers with the world of roasters, opening up new opportunities for them and ensuring a more stable future. Thanks to him, you can look forward to coffees that would otherwise remain hidden in the mountains of Honduras every year.
The La Orquidea processing station, where this coffee was processed using the washed method, emphasizes purity and balance of flavors. After harvesting, the skin and pulp are removed from the cherries, the beans are fermented in water and then carefully dried. The result is a cup that allows the fruity notes and delicate nutty aftertaste to fully shine through. The washed method is the ideal choice for those who appreciate a clean, elegant coffee profile without excessive sweetness or earthy tones. Combined with Benjamin's approach to cultivation, this coffee becomes a real daily treasure.
