Las Lomas coffee from the Marcala mountain region in the heart of Honduras is part of Candycane's Christmas edition and brings warmth and tranquility from the very first sip. Its flavor is full, sweet, and balanced, with notes of caramel, red fruit, and cocoa that gradually develop into a long chocolate-spiced finish. The aroma is reminiscent of festive evenings – the warm aroma of mulled wine, candied fruit, and gingerbread spices evokes a feeling of coziness and a return to a crackling fire. Each cup feels like a little pause in time, a moment of peace and joy when the world slows down and everything around you quietens.
Behind this exceptional coffee are Marysabel Caballero and Moises Herrera, a pair of growers whose names are synonymous with honest work, family tradition, and unwavering quality. On their farms at an altitude of 1,600 meters above sea level, they grow the Catuai variety, which they roast with their characteristic care to achieve a harmonious, elegant profile. Las Lomas has a cupping score of 87 points, reflecting its balance and complexity. It is a coffee with soul, kind and warm, ideal for winter days and quiet mornings.
The dry processing method gives the coffee its distinctive sweetness and intense fruitiness. The beans are dried whole in the cherries under the warm Honduran sun, which gives them depth and subtle notes of wine and chocolate. The combination of high altitude, rich soil, and the precise work of farmers creates a coffee that perfectly combines tradition with a personal touch and brings the authentic taste of Honduras.
