This coffee is from the Marcala region of Honduras, grown at 1265 meters altitude on Lennon Diaz's farm. It is a fully washed coffee processed on raised beds, made up of Pacas, Lempira, Catuai, and Bourbon varieties. The coffee has a light-medium roast with tasting notes of brown sugar, lemon-lime, milk chocolate, and praline. It is described as silky and sweet with hints of caramel and lemon.
Bard Coffee was founded in 2010 by Bob Garver and Jeremy Pelkey in downtown Portland, Maine, and was named by CNN as one of the country's seventeen best coffee makers. The roastery uses Loring Smart Roast technology, which cuts energy consumption by up to 80% while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Both co owners have visited every single farm featured on the menu, sourcing through a direct trade model that prioritises transparency and support for growers. Bard specialises in single origin coffees roasted in house and received a 2017 Good Food Award for its commitment to building a responsible food system. Bob Garver also co founded Wicked Joe Coffee with his wife Carmen.
