Honduras: 18 Rabbit Red, Marcala

Named for Uaxaclajuun Ub’aah K’awiil—“18 Rabbit,” the Classic Maya ruler of Copán—this Organic microlot showcases Honduras’s refined honey‑process craft. Ripe cherries are depulped and dried with a generous mucilage layer (red honey), turned regularly to build caramelized sweetness while preserving clarity. Roasted to a measured medium, the cup centers on caramel and milk chocolate over a tidy cocoa line, lifted by ripe red‑berry and stone‑fruit accents. Acidity reads medium and balanced; the mouthfeel is silky and cohesive from mid‑palate to close. Expect a clean, sweet finish with lingering berry‑cocoa resonance—expressive, polished, and easy to love by the cup or bag.
