Honduras Finca El Puente Catuai lavé

I opened the bag and the aroma hit me before I even brewed it—that chocolate note is exactly as described, and it carries through in the cup without being heavy. The sweetness is balanced, not cloying, and it's become my go-to for slow weekend mornings.

The washed process really lets the sweetness shine through without any heaviness, and the chocolate note lingers just long enough to make you want another sip. I brewed it in my pour-over and it came out remarkably balanced, not a hint of bitterness even as it cooled.

The chocolate note is exactly what the description promises, and it comes through so smoothly with that washed process keeping everything clean. I brewed a cup this morning and the sweetness lingered just right, not too heavy for an afternoon pick-me-up either.
