Dulce Marlen - filter coffee from Honduras
Unfortunately, this coffee has been consumed, but we plan to have it back with the next harvest.
Dulce Marlen is back - and how. Last year we made microlots for the first time with our partners from 18Conejo in Honduras and you liked the coffee as much as we did. The high sweetness guarantees a velvety texture. This is integrated with a delicate, slightly juicy acidity that continues into the aftertaste. The aromas of blossom honey and almonds replace any dessert.

Why does coffee taste the way it does?
After harvesting, Dulce Marlen packs the cherries in large plastic bags and lets them rest for 42 hours. In Nicaragua we call this reposa . The higher temperature and minimal oxygen catalyze the first fermentation. This accentuates the acidity. She then pulps the coffee and packs the beans back into the bags with the sugary pectin layer ( miel , mucilage ). In a second fermentation, the texture becomes heavier. After 16 hours, the coffee is washed and slowly dried. With a slightly longer development time during roasting, we accentuate the velvety texture and the sweet notes.

Tell me more about Dulce Marlen
We have been visiting our partners from 18 Conejo in Honduras for several years. Flhor Zelaya runs the company and we named our Café Crème after her. We got to know Flhor's mother, Dulce Marlen, as a shrewd, determined woman with a lot of mischief. Dulce Marlen grows coffee on her Finca Dulce Luna according to Demeter principles. Anyone who has experienced as much as Dulce Marlen deserves their own coffee, which we are happy to name after her. Napo(leon) is Dulce Marlen's son and contributed coffee to this year's harvest so that we could produce a little more volume.
