Honduras:
Honduras coffee quality spans a huge range, from a lower-cost Central American blender coffee to high-grown lots that rival great quality Guatemala coffees. The areas of La Paz, Santa Rosa, Copan, Santa Barbara, Lempira, Ocotepeque, and others can produce high quality coffees.
Honduras coffees can range from bright, acidic flavour profiles, lightly fruited and with strong cane sugar sweetness, to more caramel-like, lower acidity coffees that are great in espresso.

Colombia:
Colombia is a diverse group of coffee growing regions spread from North to South along the three "cordilleras," the mountain ranges that are the Northern extensions of the Andes.
Most Colombian coffee comes from small family farms, especially from the growing areas we focus on (Huila, Cauca, Narino, Tolima, and Urrao).
When the picking and processing are done well, they can be exceptional in the cup: Silky body, cane sugar sweetness, floral hints, and traces of tropical fruits are found in the best Colombia coffees.

Guatemala:
Guatemala is considered by many to be the “crown jewel of Central American coffee.”
Great Guatemalan coffees have a bright cup, floral hints, clean fruited notes, moderate body, and a lingering clean aftertaste. With varying qualities, farms ranging from huge estates to tiny small-holders perched on steep slopes, and different cup characteristics from within the same micro-regions, there is much to learn and appreciate from the complexity of Guatemala coffee.

Guatemala Jasmin is a blend of beautiful coffees from Huehuetenango and Cafes de Oriente. It exhibits unique qualities such as a complex combination of fruity and smooth cocoa notes with a citrus acidity. Its name comes from the distinct aroma created by blending the two regions together. Huehuetenango gives these coffee beans a high acidity and a winey quality, while Cafes de Oriente gives them sweetness and body. This specific pairing is what gives it fancy cup status. SHB (Strictly Hard Bean) specifies that the coffee is grown at altitudes above 1350 meters. This term is also synonymous with SHG (Strictly High Grown). EP (European Preparation) specifies that green beans are all hand and color sorted to remove any defects or foreign materials.
