Winner of the "Cup of Excellence" award is from Honduras- Las Amaazonas.
I sampled this unique coffee at Square One coffee house in Lancaster, PA.
I requested a Pour-Over, as this is how to separate a GREAT coffee from merely a good coffee.
With an earthy finish, with the slightest hint of OAK, I found this to be delicious. Instead of sugar, I opted for Clover Honey, and just a touch of cream to make the OAK just a little smoother. I can see why Honduras won this award this year. There was just a touch of chocolate in the finish as well. There must be a Cocoa grower within a few miles of the coffee farm. It was grown in a shaded area of rain forest. This means the beans were NOT over dried. They were roasted, here in Lancaster, to a medium, rather than dark. Small batches means each bean is roasted to it's "double pop" perfection. Not overly done, and yet not underdone either.
The supply of Honduras Las Amazonas is extremely limited, so it was an honor to be able to even try a cup. It is worth the trip to 143 North Duke Street, in Lancaster, PA 17602. Come quickly, as this amazingly wonderful coffee will not last long!

This blog is all about the coffee. It will be filled with my personal opinions of the various coffees that I, personally, have tried. I have my preferences, when it comes to coffee. I prefer dark roasts, and do NOT like decaf much at all. I will be reviewing coffee, latte, cappuccino, and various other varieties of my favorite beverage.
