This coffee really impressed me as a pourover in the Ome by Spacebar cafe in Georgetown, Malaysia, so I was pleased to find it for 15% off and free international shipping (when buying other coffees) during a pre Black-Friday sale. Brewing at 93C/200F, I got distinct notes of lime, lemon, and orange, with florals and stonefruit in supporting roles. I don’t typically write about texture or mouthfeel, as they’re less important to me than flavor, and I typically prefer lightly-roasted coffees that others describe as ‘tea like’. But this coffee remarkably also had a syrupy texture, rare to find in lightly-roasted Gesha. Really wonderful both hot and cold. I believe earlier seasons of this coffee won Cup of Excellence in 2019 and 2021, and I see why. A lot less prestigious than Cup of Excellence, this also takes the crown for my favourite coffee from Honduras for 2024, and perhaps also 2025. While I’m heaping praise on the Mierisch family and Apollon’s Gold for this coffee, I should say that I’m really struggling to get a good cup out of another Mierisch coffee from Apollon’s Gold right now. I will give that a full review after I try to dial it in more, with the roaster’s recommendations in mind.

More Details

Roast Level: Light
Light roast coffee is a delicately roasted coffee that retains more of the beans' natural flavors and characteristics. Light-roasted coffees have bright acidity, complex fruit, and floral notes. Light roast coffee does not have less caffeine than darker roasts because caffeine levels remain stable during roasting.
Bean Source Country: Honduras
Honduran specialty coffee is distinguished by its diverse growing regions, such as Copán, Santa Bárbara, and Comayagua, each offering distinct flavor profiles due to the country's varied microclimates and elevations. Coffee from Honduras often features bright acidity, medium body, and a range of flavors, including fruity, nutty, and chocolatey notes.
