Honduras Berta Pina Bourbon Washed

Country: Honduras

Estate: Berta Pina

Region: Montecillos

Variety: Bourbon

Processing Method: Washed

Altitude: 1,315-1,550 meters

Flavor: Yellow sugar, red apricot, cream; medium body and relatively high sweetness.

Berta Pina Estate was founded after Fabiola and Roger married. The couple shared a passion for tropical coffee, and Roger bought a farm and named it after his wife so they could cultivate high-quality coffee together. They hope to pass their love of coffee on to their two daughters, and they harvest the cherries strictly at optimal ripeness, picking each one at its sweetness peak.

Honduran coffee may not have one single defining trait, but its rich, well-balanced overall profile is its greatest strength: gentle acidity, a heavier caramel sweetness, and solid quality at a competitive price have made it a quiet favorite among coffee lovers.

Berta Pina is a typical Honduran "highland coffee," grown at 1,315-1,550 meters. The beans are relatively large, uniform in shape, and consistent in color with a healthy gloss. A medium roast draws out their sweetness to the fullest and gives them a rich, distinctive aroma.

FrontStreet Coffee Recommendation

Enjoying this balanced, gently sweet Honduran profile? FrontStreet Coffee's Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Guodingding is the natural next step for V60 drinkers who want a little more lift: clear citrus, berry, and floral notes with a green-tea-like sweetness, and an acidity that is bright yet soft rather than sharp.

Like most light-roast Ethiopian coffees, it rewards patience — give it a proper rest after roasting and brew it with the same 30-120-225g three-pour structure, and its layered florals and fruit will open up beautifully.
