Honduras: 18 Rabbit Yellow, Marcala

Named for Uaxaclajuun Ub’aah K’awiil— “18 Rabbit,” the Classic Maya ruler of Copán—this Organic microlot highlights Honduras’s precision honey processing. Ripe cherries are depulped and dried with a moderate mucilage layer (yellow honey), turned frequently to preserve clarity while concentrating sugars. Roasted to a measured medium, the cup centers on caramel and milk chocolate over a tidy cocoa line, lifted by ripe red‑berry and peach/apricot hints. Acidity reads medium and composed; the mouthfeel is silky and cohesive from mid‑palate to close. Expect a clean, sweet finish with lingering berry‑cocoa resonance—expressive, polished, and easy to love by the cup or bag.
