Honduras Organic 18 Rabbit Black Marcala Honduras: Organic 18 Rabbit Black, Marcala

Roasting this bean in my Behmor with a manual profile, I get a very fruity cup without the overwhelming jamminess or acidity of some of the funkier natural beans. It has a bit of a tendency to runaway towards second crack with a very faint first crack, but when I nail that fully developed end of first crack roast it is a central pillar to my home espresso blend. This is easily one of my favorite coffees of the last couple of years of roasting!

This one's my fave, my go-to. I have a mean sweet tooth, and roasting beans myself allows me to make them as light as I want (caramel-colored when roasted, graham cracker color when ground). Smells like cookies when you grind them, though since I prefer light-as-can-be roast, I only use about a teaspoon's worth to make half a pot so I'm not up all night. Slightly citrusy (which I normally don't like), but a bit of cream rounds it out.

Did two Roasts, one I stopped when first crack started and the other i allowed to go a minute after first crack stopped. Both were good, but I definitely liked the darker roast the best as the flavors really developed. I also noticed that it's a oilier than most. A very good cup of coffee that is a very pleasant break from my regular goto's.

Really surprising, chocolatey flavors. I roasted to City +. As an espresso, it had strong citrus flavors that were not really pleasant, but as a cortado with some milk and a touch of sugar, the sweeter flavors emerged. So no espresso for me on this, but it's a great coffee.

Roasted twice so far, once to a light-medium, and once to dark. I’ve tried this and the Natural version, and I prefer the natural, personally, for its extremely fruit-forward flavor and aroma. If you don’t prefer that, this one might be for you. I prefer this one as a dark roast, personally, but the natural 18 rabbit is perfect as a medium roast. The black honey process beans tend to look further along than they actually are. I’d advise going a little longer than usual.

Amazing coffee! Light roast recommended! Fruity, clean, and fragrant!

I absolutely love this coffee. I’ve always loved the African coffees, i.e. Ethiopian and Kenya and especially Rwanda, although I still like trying new ones. But this is now one of my favorites. I especially like a light roast where I can pick out the fruit notes, and 18 rabbit black is one of the best for that. I roasted it just to the beginning of first crack and it was perfect for this one. The berry flavor is intense, yet no acid. Love this one!

Amazing… followed the recommended roasting suggestions and blew my mind nice taste great body overall this bean hits the spot of the taste We we’re looking for.. will buy again this bean is in my top choice price point is fair I simply enjoyed this bean plain and simple try you just might love it great job on the bean harvest

I bought a sample bag in the Valentine sale, but did not get around to roasting it for a couple of months. It was very tasty and chocolaty, but it was all sold out by then. I waited patiently for the next batch, and it is even better than the first batch, although less chocolaty. It is extremely complex, good for a sipping coffee as well as drinking with meals. Very robust, roasted to a true medium brown. Stir that whisk briskly in order to get most beans with even color, and trust your eyes at gauging when to stop. I made sure I got several pounds this time, as I am sure it will be a best seller. Do not worry if a couple of beans escape. If they are brown enough, you can put them in with the done ones.

The flavor of this coffee is awesome. It’s good to mix a blend with your other favorites. Love it.

You know it's going to taste like heaven when you stand with your nose over the coffee grinder letting the smell of the freshly ground beans soak into your soul. I think this might be the one to drink black. It's incredibly sweet and fruity but still full-bodied at a full city roast. You could probably go much darker with this one and still retain the sweet flavor but there really is no need.

Absolutely loved this one. Smooth and rounded cup. Actually tastes like it smells in a medium roast. Have already ordered another 3lbs

After many attempts with a BarWell Roaster, using 160 °C . I finally achieved a light roast without burning the beans. I used multiple roast sessions as to not over roast. The roaster's temperature gauge I decided was inaccurate. I achieved nirvana with a wonderful sweet chocolate nutty aroma & smooth clean taste with zero bitterness from over roasting. Recommending slow & low roasting <= 160°C. One must be very attentive & check the roasting frequently, it will be worth the effort.

Very happy with these beans. They were fruity and ripe with a finishing sweetness and easy drinkability. Due to natural process, I had a little difficulty roasting them, but that's on me! Would buy again.

I ordered the sample pack. The black honey was probably the worst seed I have roasted. Very bland taste. I suggest one order a sample before investing in multiple lbs. I rested 2 days before trying a cup. I will now rest for many more days in Hope's to make it drinkable.

Amazing
