Dulce Marlen, filter coffee
Dulce Marlen - Filter Coffee from Honduras
This coffee is unfortunately sold out, but it is planned to return with the next harvest.
Dulce Marlen is back - and how. Last year, for the first time, we made microlots with our partners from 18Conejo in Honduras, and you loved the coffee as much as we did. The high sweetness guarantees a velvety texture. Integrated within it is a delicate, slightly juicy acidity that extends into the aftertaste. The aromas of blossom honey and almonds replace any dessert.

Why does the coffee taste the way it does?
After harvesting, Dulce Marlen packs the cherries into large plastic bags and lets them rest for 42 hours. In Nicaragua, we call this reposa. The higher temperature and minimal oxygen catalyze the initial fermentation. This accentuates the acidity. Afterwards, she de-pulps the coffee and puts the beans with the sugary pectin layer (miel, mucilage) back into the bags. 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 emphasize the velvety texture and sweet notes.

Tell me more about Dulce Marlen
For several years we have been visiting our partners from 18 Conejo in Honduras. Flhor Zelaya leads 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. Someone who has experienced as much as Dulce Marlen deserves her own coffee, which we are delighted to name after her. Napo(leon) is Dulce Marlen's son and contributed coffee to this year's harvest so that we could have a little more volume.
