Dulce Marlen, filter coffee
Dulce Marlen - Filter coffee from Honduras
Unfortunately, this coffee is sold out, but it is planned to return with the next harvest.
Dulce Marlen is back - and how. Last year, we produced microlots for the first time with our partners at 18Conejo in Honduras, and you loved the coffee as much as we did. Its high sweetness ensures a velvety texture, integrated with a delicate, slightly juicy acidity that lingers into the aftertaste. Notes of floral honey and almonds are better than any dessert.

Why does the coffee taste the way it does?
After harvesting, Dulce Marlen places the cherries in large plastic bags and lets them rest for 42 hours. We call this reposa in Nicaragua. The higher temperature and minimal oxygen catalyze the initial fermentation, which accentuates the acidity. Afterwards, she depulps the coffee and puts the beans back into the bags with their sugar-rich pectin layer (miel, mucilage). A second fermentation gives the texture more weight. After 16 hours, the coffee is washed and dried slowly. With a slightly longer development time during roasting, we emphasize the velvety texture and the sweet notes.

Tell me more about Dulce Marlen
We have been visiting our partners at 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 clever, determined woman with a great sense of humor. Dulce Marlen grows coffee on her finca, Dulce Luna, according to Demeter principles. Someone who has experienced as much as Dulce Marlen deserves their own coffee, which we are pleased to name after her. Napo(leon) is Dulce Marlen's son and contributed coffee for this year's harvest so that we could increase the volume a little.
