Honduras Jesus Galeas

Story

This is our second season purchasing from one of the most integral players in the Selguapa coffee growing scene. Jesus “Chungo” Galeas is a known figure amongst communities throughout the Comayagua Mountains, motivating neighboring farmers to work in specialty coffee and sharing knowledge to collectively increase quality.

This selection of the Bourbon variety from Chungo is classically sweet, clean, and structured.  The clear expressions of both sweetness and acidity are signs that this coffee was grown at a high elevation, picked at peak ripeness, and processed expertly. Red fruit flavors are guaranteed - though sometimes presenting more juicy, like fresh cherries, and sometimes presenting more rounded and balanced, like a caramel apple. Flavors are ever-changing from hot to cold and from days off of roast, making this one particularly fun to explore. We taste: red fruit punch, caramel apple, cherry pie, dried fruit, tootsie roll, root beer, baking spices, brown sugar, caramel, toffee, praline.
