This diversity of crops, the region’s many microclimates, and varying altitudes extend their harvest season months longer than the average co-op.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHonduras is Central America's largest coffee producer by volume. While the washed process is widely used in Central America, natural processed coffees remain hard to find. High-quality naturals are usually tiny, experimental lots produced for waiting buyers or auction platforms, with very competitive prices. This particular lot is an anaerobically fermented natural and is part of the first full container CAFESMO has shipped to the United States. CAFESMO began experimenting with increased fermentation times using anaerobic methods as a way of boosting the clarity and acidity of their naturals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLearn more about CAFESMO on their website: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cafesmo.com\/en\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehttps:\/\/cafesmo.com\/en\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Anaerobic” in this case refers to the fermentation environment where oxygen is limited or entirely deprived. In normal coffee fermentation, the oxygen itself drives the process, converting sugars to alcohol and lowering the pH of the mixture. When oxygen is limited, the fermentation process is slowed, giving the coffee's sugars a longer period of contact with the seed and transforming the flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAROMA:\u003c\/strong\u003e s’mores, strawberry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFLAVOR:\u003c\/strong\u003e raspberry jam, rhubarb\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBODY:\u003c\/strong\u003e juicy, creamy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH:\u003c\/strong\u003e honey, cedar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eREGION:\u003c\/strong\u003e mercedes, ocotepeque\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVARIETIES:\u003c\/strong\u003e paraneima, pacas, catuaí\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePROCESS:\u003c\/strong\u003e anaerobic natural\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRODUCER:\u003c\/strong\u003e cafesmo cooperative\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eALTITUDE: \u003c\/strong\u003e1000 - 1900 meters above sea level\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCERTIFICATION:\u003c\/strong\u003e organic\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Noble Coffee Roasting","offers":[{"title":"Whole Bean \/ 12 oz","offer_id":68688636379330,"sku":"HM-.75","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Whole Bean \/ 5 lbs","offer_id":68688636412098,"sku":"HM-5","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Turkish (#1) \/ 12 oz","offer_id":68688636444866,"sku":"HM-G-.75","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Turkish (#1) \/ 5 lbs","offer_id":68688636477634,"sku":"HM-G-5","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Aeropress\/K-Cup (#4) \/ 12 oz","offer_id":68688636510402,"sku":"HM-G-.75","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Aeropress\/K-Cup (#4) \/ 5 lbs","offer_id":68688636543170,"sku":"HM-G-5","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Espresso (#2) \/ 12 oz","offer_id":68688636575938,"sku":"HM-G-.75","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Espresso (#2) \/ 5 lbs","offer_id":68688636608706,"sku":"HM-G-5","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Stovetop Espresso (#3) \/ 12 oz","offer_id":68688636641474,"sku":"HM-G-.75","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Stovetop Espresso (#3) \/ 5 lbs","offer_id":68688636674242,"sku":"HM-G-5","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pourover (#5) \/ 12 oz","offer_id":68688636707010,"sku":"HM-G-.75","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pourover (#5) \/ 5 lbs","offer_id":68688636739778,"sku":"HM-G-5","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Automatic Drip (#6) \/ 12 oz","offer_id":68688636772546,"sku":"HM-G-.75","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Automatic Drip (#6) \/ 5 lbs","offer_id":68688636805314,"sku":"HM-G-5","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Chemex (#7) \/ 12 oz","offer_id":68688636838082,"sku":"HM-G-.75","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Chemex (#7) \/ 5 lbs","offer_id":68688636870850,"sku":"HM-G-5","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"French Press (#8) \/ 12 oz","offer_id":68688636903618,"sku":"HM-G-.75","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"French Press (#8) \/ 5 lbs","offer_id":68688636936386,"sku":"HM-G-5","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Percolator or Cold Brew (#9) \/ 12 oz","offer_id":68688636969154,"sku":"HM-G-.75","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Percolator or Cold Brew (#9) \/ 5 lbs","offer_id":68688637001922,"sku":"HM-G-5","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0769\/3536\/4802\/files\/HMShopify.png?v=1793112810","url":"https:\/\/organiccoffee.com\/products\/honduran-mercedes","provider":"OrganicCoffee.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
