Assembly is our blend for those looking for a more traditional, "coffee" sort of coffee - expect a dense, creamy structure with a milder, softer acidity profile and dominant notes of chocolate and roasted nuts along with a hint of dried fruits. Assembly works best for milk based espresso drinks and anyone looking for a more developed cup profile. Source: timbertrain.ca (roaster’s own copy).

This is a super exciting coffee for us - we sourced it directly in Honduras while attending the local "Festival Cafe Culture Marcala" in Marcala, Honduras. Ednar submitted his coffee into the Marcala Designation of Coffee Competition, where he placed third with this lot, a honey processed Gesha varietal. Our head roaster in attendance cupped all of the coffees and connected with Ednar afterwards to get this coffee added to our container, it was just that good!
