La La Dee Da
SKITTLES. APPLE. PRICKLY PEAR.
Are you ready? 3… 2… 1… Here we go!
La La Dee Da bursts and dances on the palate with a bright, prickly pear rhythm and sweet skittle-candy high notes. And of course crisp and juicy apple riffs that live in your head rent-free like your favourite song's hook. Beneath the shimmy, a smooth and creamy body rounds this musical masterpiece together by giving it a steady beat that keeps you grooving long after the music is gone. Let’s just say, with this one, it will be impossible to sit still!
The extensive natural fermentation process of this coffee in a carefully controlled environment allows microorganisms to break down the sugars in the coffee fruit, developing seriously wild, complex and unique flavour notes.

The Full Story
Don Fabio Caballero, inherited large areas of land in and around Marcala from his father, who was one of the pioneers of coffee cultivation in Honduras. Marcala is located in the South East of Honduras. After many years of poor profits, he decided to pass his land down to his children; to his daughter Marysabel and her husband, especially. Moises brought his own farms into the family business as well, and together, they own almost 200 hectares of cultivated land, separated into 17 different farms.
All of their farms are within close proximity to their ‘beneficio’ (wet mill), Xinacla. It is a central mill to which they deliver cherries and process coffee. They usually keep each farm's production separate, except for when the volume is too small from the day's pickings. In such cases, they combine pickings from different farms. Their farms have a clay-like soil, and their main cultivar is Catuai. They also cultivate other varieties like Java, Pacamara, and Geishas. The areas the farms are located in generally have wet and windy conditions. Some farms have shade, while others do not. There is a mix of flat plateaus and hillsides, with moderate to steep inclines.
