Opalaca is one of Honduras’s official denominations of origin, in the western mountains.
It grows bright acidity and fruity sweetness recalling citrus, chocolate and stone fruit.
Honduras has six denominations of origin defined by IHCAFE (the Honduran Coffee Institute), and Opalaca is a leading western one. High altitude and abundant rainfall create its bright acidity and fruitiness.
To highlight its fruity, bright acidity, brew it clean at a light-to-medium roast. Aim for 90–92°C on paper drip.
Enjoy the balance of chocolate and citrus. Unhurried extraction at a medium temperature is best.
For a rich, satisfying body — also excellent with milk.
