“Sweetly aromatic, gently fruit-toned. Baked pear, dried apricot, caramel, cocoa powder and almond blossom in aroma and cup. Briskly sweet acidity; very full, syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. The sweet-toned finish lingers with notes of caramel, dried apricot and cocoa powder.” — Kenneth Davids, Coffee Review, August 2026 Full review

“Sweet caramel, milk chocolate, candied ginger and chocolate cookie notes led this coffee, with a creamy mouthfeel and lots of sweetness throughout. The judges enjoyed the nice complexity from the ginger and chocolate, describing a well balanced pairing with the plant based milk.” — GCA judging panel

A delightful roast from the central American country of Honduras, this single-farm microlot selection is processed using the "honey" method where the hard coffee bean is dried in the sun with some of the sticky, sweet pulp from the fruit still attached to the outside of the bean. Once dry, the beans are further cleaned and processed for export. This processing method gives a sweeter, deeper finish to the coffee when roasted.

This year's version of the Honduras Liquidambar Yellow Honey is an extremely delicious cup, with notes of dark cherry, herbal honey and a little raisin. Finishing off with a dark chocolate aftertaste, this coffee is best enjoyed black but also sweetens with a dash of cream.

Our Honduras Liquidambar Yellow Honey also received an amazing 93 point review from coffee expert Kenneth Davids, who called it an “exceptional bargain for a classic Honduras profile.” Here is more of what he said:

No bitterness!!

I make my coffee one cup at a time in a V60 coffee filter. This coffee has no bitterness at all. New favorite coffee.

Smooth, nice flavor

The Honduras Liquidambar has a pleasantly sweet and slightly fruit aroma and taste. The cherry and chocolate flavors are quite pleasing in our early morning coffee. It gives the house a wonderful coffee smell long after the coffee is gone.

Find this to be an outstanding Hondura based coffee. Zero acidity and very mild flavor.

I’m loving this coffee. I usually drink medium but took a chance on this and am so glad I did! Ordered another bag!

Too sharp for my liking but packs a punch

I don’t know what it is with lighter roasts but I keep getting discouraged by the sharp-cheddar-like punch that a roast like this carries. I by no means disparage the artisanship of Mystic Monk, it is rather the flavor profile I’m critical of; this coffee has a strong underlying sharp tone that doesn’t go well with much of any creams or flavors I can pair with, it’s just too sharp and ‘light’ for my liking. I REALLY want Mystic Monk to offer more distinct darker-medium to medium-dark offerings that show more roast complexity and boldness without being charred tasting either—even better would be flavored medium-dark roasts, now that would be amazing. Do more medium-dark (Thanksgiving) and pumpkin spice-like coffees!

Smooth, mellow, and utterly delicious!

My husband and I rank this coffee as one of our very most favorite coffees -- and while the Mystic Monk Coffee holds the record for (many and most of) our favorites, this particular coffee is right near, if not at, the very top of the list. It is not acidic and is full of wonderful flavors and undertones. I wish we could have it all year long (but we are stocking up as much as we can!)

Fuller Body with a Bit of a Bite

I found the flavor to be a bit stronger than I was expecting, but still quite good. I tried it three times a day and found that it had a bit too much of a bite for early morning use. I enjoyed it much more later in the day.

Delightful

I purchased the Honduras Pacayal for myself and my sister in North Carolina. We both were very happy with the coffee. My sister made a point of emailing, telling me she really liked the coffee. She doesn't always take the time to tell me she likes the coffee I purchase for her, so this was high praise.

FRAGRANT AROMA FOR HONDURAS PACAYAL

While brewing this coffee, my kitchen smells wonderful due to the aroma. This is also a smooth coffee to taste. As the monks bring the Honduras to the United States.

Great coffee, great service

The subtle flavors in this coffee make it very enjoyable to drink. The aroma even got my wife, who is generally not a coffee drinker, to try it and she enjoyed it as well. Plus, the easy ordering and fast delivery are very much appreciated.

Great tasting Coffee

This is a very drinkable coffee. The flavor is balanced, not bitter and I do get the nutty aftertaste; it’s delicious… no need for cream or sugar!
This is a great way to start the morning!
