Cascaritas Classic
by Hidardo Hernández from CAFESMO
Cascaritas Washed is an Arabica coffee of the Parainema variety. The coffee was grown on the Cascaritas farm in Honduras by Hidardo Hernández and his family. It was processed using the washed method, resulting in great clarity and pleasant citrus notes such as tangerine and orange, along with a light sweetness reminiscent of sugarcane. The coffee has a medium roast level. We recommend brewing it as a filter, in a French Press, or using an espresso maker.

About Cascaritas Classic
Cascaritas Classic is a versatile medium roasted coffee that, due to its clarity, can be brewed into a delicious cup in a filter, a French Press, or espresso maker.
The coffee is grown at an altitude of 1300 meters by Hidardo Hernández on the Cascaritas farm. For Cascaritas Classic, Hidardo used the Parainema variety, which is cultivated in the shade of pine and walnut trees. The altitudes of the mountains around Ocotepeque are ideal for growing Parainema coffee cherries.
The ripe coffee cherries are picked, separated from their pulp, and then processed. During processing, the coffee is dried and then fermented in a tank to remove the mucilage around the seed. Finally, the coffee is washed with fresh water and then dried.
Hidardo only uses ecological and sustainable farming methods for coffee production.
