The Levitating Priest 002 Norma Iris Fiallos - Honduras
San Rafael, Honduras | Red Catuai, Washed
Sweet, Round, Chocolate.
An easy drinking coffee, this is a sweet cup built around rich dark chocolate and stewed apple. Round, smooth and high bodied - great through milk.
The first release in our Profile Series, The Levitating Priest is named after Father Nicanor from One Hundred Years of Solitude - a priest who could levitate simply by drinking chocolate. Our House Espresso should bring these magical chocolatey flavours as the primary note, with a supporting fruit flavour to provide some depth, showcasing the sweetness in an overall round profile. The roast sees a touch more development to give better expression and clarity through milk. Creating a flavour profile for this mainstay coffee allows us to explore new origins and harvest cycles; whilst the component might change this profile will always focus on chocolate as a primary note.

Norma Iris Fiallos owns the farm San Rafael, located in the Los Limos area of Corquin, Copan. Norma is one of the most innovative producers in the area, with a vast array of different varieties, including bourbon, catuai, maragogype and parainema. The farm is nestled within a pine forest, which greatly acidifies the soil, giving the coffee a very unique cup profile. The coffee is completely shade grown and the production area represents a fraction of the total land.
Catuai is from the Typica-Bourbon lineage. It is a cross between Mundo Novo and Caturra. This variety type is high yielding in comparison to the traditional Bourbon variety. Because of its smaller size the plants can be more closely spaced, meaning it can be planted at nearly double the density while maintaining high cup quality. This characteristic makes it a very good option for producers.
