Dynamite — Honduras Pedro Turcios

Featured the week of October 12, 2026 — rated 9.7/10 by our tasting team.

Get ready to elevate your morning ritual because this week we are featuring an absolute crown jewel from our dear friend Pedro Turcios up in the highlands of Marcala, Honduras. Grown at a soaring 1,650 meters, this microlot utilizes the rare Arara Amarillo varietal subjected to a mind-blowing experimental fermentation protocol featuring champagne yeast before being fully washed. The result in the cup is nothing short of transcendent, opening with a vibrant, effervescent pop of champagne and tart raspberry that mellows into a decadent, velvety wedding cake sweetness. The mouthfeel is remarkably silky with a brilliantly articulated citric acidity that keeps the profile crisp, lively, and impossibly complex from the first sip to the dregs.

To extract every ounce of nuance from this stellar light roast, dial in a manual pour-over using a 1:16 ratio to let those delicate fruit acids sing, or run it through an AeroPress if you want to dial up the body and accentuate that gorgeous bakery sweetness. Pedro's dedication to pushing the absolute boundaries of post-harvest processing shines through in every single drop, delivering a cup that feels both celebratory and deeply comforting. Brew up a batch, slow down, and taste what happens when visionary farming meets uncompromising craft. Cheers to another incredible week of exploring great coffee together!
