    The Coffee

    Beans: Honduras Bertilio Reyes Portillo
    Roaster: New Harvest Coffee

    Equipment/Brewing Method

    Brew Method: Clever Dripper
    Grinder/Grind Size: Baratza Virtuoso Preciso – Dial 24
    Bean/Water Ratio: 26/350g 3 minute infusion / 1:30 press

    Notes:
    Juicy grapes upfront, sweet honey, and tart strawberries make up the aroma of the coffee.

    Each sip follows with a lively acidity, juicy grapes, chocolate, strawberries, along with lemon hints, and oranges. A clean cup that doesn’t disappoint or lack with flavor.

    Chocolate, plum, grape, sweet lime, clean finish, a beautiful balance is the star of the show ~ New Harvest Coffee

    Verdict:
    This coffee marks my second experience with the wonderful New Harvest Coffee. This particular coffee is the brother of Aldolfo’s lot, a farmer whose coffee I sampled not too long ago, and one you might remember, Honduras Los Portillos.

    The moment Honduras Los Portillos arrived I was instantly blown away with the bright fruity notes the beans carried all the way to that first cup I made. It was an impressive coffee, and made for a memorable 2011. It even made my top 10 list of coffees in 2011 I enjoyed the most.

    Honduras Bertilio Reyes Portillo, on the other hand, is another wonderful coffee even though it did not live up to the expectations I know I shouldn’t have compared to his brother’s coffee.

    Breaking myself away from comparing the two, I did in fact enjoy this wonderful gem of a coffee. It did not disappoint, and I would highly recommend you try this before it’s gone.

    Score:
    93/100pts
