Caballero Pedernal – Honduras

Honduras Caballero Pedernal is a new lot from the Caballero family, one of the most respected producers in the Marcala region. Marysabel Caballero and Moises Herrera, representing the second and third generations of farmers, are recognized for their consistency and high quality, confirmed over the years by results in competitions such as Cup of Excellence and “Coffee of the Year”.

This lot, naturally processed with extended fermentation, brings a more intense and generous profile built around sweetness and texture. In the cup, you’ll find notes of chocolate and raspberry, rounded out by fine hints of sweet spice, in a balance that stays clear and easy to read.

The fermentation contributes a deeper fruitiness and a richer texture, without pushing the profile into aggressively fermented territory. It’s a coffee that keeps the classic Honduras direction, but with more expressiveness and depth.

The profile is designed primarily for espresso, where the coffee develops a creamy body, high sweetness, and a moderate, well-integrated acidity.

At the same time, it performs very well in filter methods too, resulting in a sweet, balanced cup with lower acidity and a pleasant texture.
