Espresso Feliciano Castillo

A Sweet and Nutty Dream

Feliciano Castillo tastes like dark pecan chocolate. The Honduran Arabica is complemented by subtle spicy flavor notes. This low-acid espresso is pleasantly balanced and captivates with its velvety mouthfeel – perfect for quiet breaks and sweet moments.

A Passionate Farmer. A Special Espresso.

This 100% Arabica coffee is named after its producer, coffee farmer Feliciano Castillo. In March 2023, our roastmaster Hannes had the opportunity to visit Feliciano Castillo’s farm in Honduras, after we had already been purchasing his coffee directly for a year. Hannes returned with eyes full of excitement, describing Feliciano’s farm as incredibly remote and beautifully situated.

Feliciano is a passionate farmer for whom his coffee farm is the center of his life. Every day, he works tirelessly to produce the best possible coffee.

A Washed Espresso from the Highlands of Honduras

When the coffee cherries are ripe, the red cherries are hand-picked and processed using the washed method. The ripe cherries are separated from the unripe ones, the pulp is removed, and the remaining fruit layer (mucilage) is broken down in water tanks through fermentation. Finally, the beans are dried evenly and turned regularly until they reach the ideal residual moisture. After about 12 days, the beans have reached the perfect level of moisture and the coffee is ready for export.

Tips for Preparation

Feliciano Castillo is a true all-rounder and suitable for all espresso preparation methods. It delivers a velvety mouthfeel with a pleasantly nutty aftertaste, which is highlighted especially well in drinks with milk (or milk alternatives).
