Coffee Description
The anticipated Honduras El Cañal returns, with notes of nectarine, toast, and vanilla followed by toffee and milk chocolate. The coffee has a sweet acidity and juicy body, and is a great example of a mellow, rounded Hondo coffee.

About Glenis of Honduras
James Coffee Co. has worked with Glenis Izaguirre at Finca El Cañal in Santa Barbara for four years running. His farm is 1.4 hectares. Here's what owner and roaster David Kennedy has this to say about the relationship:
"I don't really have the words to describe what having a direct connection and relationship with where the coffee comes from means to me. I just don't have the words... What I can say is that it's an incredibly eye opening experience to be there (at El Cañal), to shake the hands of those who are actually responsible for what is in our cups back here at home... How even being so far away from there, not just physically, but culturally, we can positively effect their lives. It's truly an exhilarating and real partnership."
