Presenting Honduran Cup of Excellence - El Aguacate !!!!

Cup of Excellence Lot #22 -
Tomas Sosa Calderon has put decades into making this an amazing coffee for you.
With an orange, floral aroma and subtle apricot acidity,
this award winner leaves you with a lingering caramel flavor.

El Aguacate went thru multiple National and a final International panel review to rank it as one of the best coffee's coming out of Honduras, deserving its premium status. This along with limited availability makes this a coffee you don't want to miss!

...Limited availability...
We split this lot thru live auction with our friends Wicked Joe's Roastery in Brunswick ME, but we are the only 2 roasters in the world with this coffee!!!
