The Marcala Ranger is a Honduras single origin medium-dark roast coffee produced by Grenade Coffee, emphasizing the unique flavors of the Marcala region in La Paz, Honduras.
Crafted by the Cafe Organics Marcala cooperative, which comprises approximately 1,500 farmer-members, this coffee is cultivated at elevations ranging from 1,300 to 1,700 meters above sea level on clay-mineral soil. The varietals included are Bourbon, Catuai, Caturra, Lempira, and Typica. All beans are processed through fully washed and sun-dried methods to ensure clarity and inherent sweetness.
The medium-dark roast profile balances boldness with refinement, highlighting caramel, spice, and full-bodied richness while maintaining a clean finish. The coffee is packaged in airtight, resealable bags designed to preserve freshness and aroma.
