Honduras Finca Liquidambar Medium Roast
Honduras Finca Liquidambar Medium Roast
Finca Liquidámbar coffee beans originate from the high-altitude farms of Guascotoro in La Paz, Honduras, and are cultivated with a strong commitment to organic practices and environmental sustainability. Founded by a group of passionate organic coffee enthusiasts, many of whom are involved with the Cocafelol cooperative, Finca Liquidámbar is dedicated to ecologically sound farming. The team repurposes coffee pulp into compost using Californian red worms and converts mucilage into foliar fertilisers, enhancing soil health and productivity. Successful organic fertiliser methods pioneered here have been shared with Cocafelol and other organic coffee producers.
Spanning 45 hectares of coffee-growing land, with an additional 15 hectares of protected forest, the farm supports 18 full-time staff and 12 seasonal workers during harvest. Coffee cherries are handpicked at peak ripeness to ensure quality, and processing begins with pulping at a local beneficio (processing station). The beans are then transported to drying beds, where they undergo controlled sun drying, being turned every half-hour for 12-15 days until they reach the ideal moisture level of 12%.
Finca Liquidámbar produces a mix of coffee varieties, including Lempira, and Ihcafe90. Lempira, once prized for its rust resistance, has been complemented with Ihcafe90, a high-yield Caturra/Timor Hybrid, to increase genetic diversity and resilience.
The coffee’s cupping profile reveals a harmonious blend of caramel and raisin sweetness, layered with complex dark fruit notes, including cherry, strawberry, liquorice, and prune. This rich, multi-dimensional flavour makes it well-suited for various brewing methods and is a fine representation of the dedication to sustainable, quality coffee production at Finca Liquidámbar.

We just love the Honduras Finca Liquidambar. We have tried a selection of your eclectic mix of beans and have now at present settled on this one. It’s not just the beans that we like, it’s the service and efficiency of Pebble and Pine we just love. Keep on the good work! Another Kilo of beans following soon.
Really really like this. Used too have Ipanema . I asked for something to try as an espresso drinker. This was recommended. Its superb smooth and silky. Drinking two a day so moved up to 1kg for the timebeing.Roasted to order delivered quickly. Thoroughly recommend.
Awesome coffee! Just hints of the fruit notes but plenty of caramel chew chew! Let this sit in my aeropress for 10 mins before pressing and it came alive, rounded off the high notes and left a smooth, rich coffee
I'm not a coffee connoisseur but i liked it a lot , its great coffee .... better than the jarred stuff :) . Great service and fast dispatch. When I've used the other 6 bags I will definitely be buying more . I've used other online roasters and this is the best I've found.
This is such an easy coffee to drink. If you don't want a "kick" or an extra strong taste, this is a smooth but very enjoyable coffee. Would recommend for anyone who likes coffee but has problems with acidity and stomach pains. A beautifully smooth coffee.

Once again another great coffee. Never disappointed with the service
This is a great coffee. Smooth honey coloured pour every time. The flavour is gentle and rich with soft fruit notes.
Great Coffee only tried one from my order so far . Looking forward to
I just love this coffee... flavoured, light and strong
Very very nice coffee
Simply the best
I use this in a mix of beans with your Honduras bean to make lovely sweet coffee no bitterness. On its own it's lovely with the honey wash bean leaving a honey sweet taste lingering in your mouth
Great coffee Great service as ever!
Very pleased with product. Lovely taste and easy to grind. Recommend.
Thought that we would give this new introduction a try. Very impressed with it, the flavour is stronger than I was expecting from a honey processed coffee but it is oh so smooth. It might become a favourite but will have to try for longer before deciding.
I use to be all about the Gatamalan Coffee, and only bought some Honduras Finca Liquidambar as there were no Guatamalan in stock. Turns out, it's bloody excellent. This is just between us though? If you're asked, don't let on.
Really delicious fresh coffee. I've got one of those sage machines and we tend to mostly drink lattes. I like a bit of acidity in a milky drink and this is very interesting and well balanced in my entirely amateur opinion. Nice easy bean to work with in my sage grinder. I don't weigh my shots or level them off with razor blades, but I get better results than any high street coffee shop every time. I don't think I've had a coffee from pebble and pine I didn't like, but this is my fave so far
This coffee is very good and works well with my machine, chocolatey, smooth, I recommend, it didn’t get 5 stars because my favourite is Monsoon Malabar
Best so far - outstanding for both expresso and flat whites, though if you like acidity maybe not for you.
First time of trying. Not disappointed. This a a lovely coffee of complex flavour and great taste. You’ve done it again Dave and sourced a lovely product. Thank you
Another nice latin american bean. Well worth trying out if you are looking for something a bit different.
There are some phenomenal flavours coming through in this espresso. These beans truly make for an enjoyable cup, with complex notes of chocolate and caramel coming through a full bodied shot. Highly recommended - I know I've just found a new favourite!
A cracking afternoon coffee. A good deeper bodied taste. Perfect accompaniment to a shaded garden chair and a Scottish shortbread.
I had this because my usual favourite was out of stock. What a delightful surprise! I enjoyed it as much as my favourite and am getting some more. It is really tasty but gentle.
Tried several great coffees from P&P. This is now my favourite. Every tasting note identified. Flavour is so deep. Highly recommended
Really enjoyed this coffee, one of my favourites with a caramel flavour, spot on for me.
I wasn't expecting a coffee as complex and characterful as this. All sorts going on with the flavours hitting the tastebuds over the course of a cup. Balanced with a gentle and pleasant acidity it's enjoyable getting to know this coffee over time. Its qualities are not on the surface, a real dark horse this one. I will make this one of my regulars now.
This is a very good coffee, a coffee for all times.
One of the best coffees I've had from Pebble and Pine
