Speciality Coffee can seem very confusing. Washed, Natural, Hybrid, Carbonic Maceration.
It’s easy to feel like you’re trying to decipher a hidden code.
Danelaw’s goal is to help to demystify Speciality Coffee and make it more approachable, without losing those interesting stories.
David has bought, blended, roasted, tasted, sold, made and talked about coffee for over 16 years, from Welders in Wokingham to World Champions in West Hampstead.
They source great quality, interesting speciality coffee to help you get to the point where you’ll be able to make the coffees you love from your local speciality coffee shop in the comfort of your kitchen.
The Origin
The Rosely Hernandez coffee from Danelaw originates from the Ocotopeque region of Honduras.
Dave met Rosely in the spring of 2018, as she was one of the hosts when he visited Ocotopeque where she is based.
She is a member of AMPROCAL, a women's co-operative founded in 2007 in Pashapa La Labor. It's in Western Honduras, bordering Guatemala and El Salvador, so it's a corner of Central America that produces coffees he really enjoys.
Originally, the co-op was founded by just 8 women, with a goal to strengthen the presence of female producers in the area. It's since grown to 86 members.
This coffee is a microlot from the co-operative, taken from Rosely's farm, Finca Terra Nuova (new land.)
The farm is a family effort. Rosely and her husband work the farm and Rosely herself is responsible for marketing.
When she spoke to Dave about launching her coffee, she said: "I want to cry with emotion, It's my dream come true"
This coffee is a selection of catimor varietals. These are plants which are descended from a rare hybrid between Arabica and Robusta. As a result, they are resistant to many pests and diseases, including the dreaded leaf rust.
Dave is so proud to be able to share this coffee, and he knows just how much it means to Rosely and her family that she will have her name on the box when it arrives in customers' hands.
