Honduras: 18 Rabbit Washed, Marcala

Named for Uaxaclajuun Ub’aah K’awiil— “18 Rabbit,” the Classic Maya ruler of Copán—this Organic microlot reflects a region where agriculture and ceremony have intertwined for centuries. Selective handpicking in Copán’s cool highlands yields dense, sugar‑rich cherries; careful washed processing and slow patio drying refine the cup’s clarity. Kept at a measured medium roast, caramel and milk chocolate form the core, while hints of red apple and soft stone fruit add lift. Acidity sits poised and clean, the body rounds to a silky mid‑weight, and the finish resolves in cocoa and cane‑sugar sweetness—an elegant, approachable Honduran with cultural resonance and modern polish.
