This black honey processed microlot is grown at 1,200 meters in Matagalpa, Nicaragua. It is a blend of Pacas and Caturra varieties, processed with maximum mucilage retention and slow sun-drying. The flavor profile is full-bodied and complex, featuring notes of candied citrus and honey, with a rooibos tea and brown sugar finish. This coffee is noted for being slightly earthy and is recommended for slow brewing methods like pour-over.
Steel Oak Coffee was founded in 2016 by Carl and Michele Dupper in Ormond Beach, Florida, with a focus on small batch specialty grade coffee. The roastery produces clean, natural flavors without additives, letting the bean speak for itself across a rotating selection of origins from Ethiopia, Kenya, Nicaragua, Brazil, Guatemala, and Colombia. Steel Oak sources ethically and seasonally, with full traceability that allows the Duppers to share the producer stories and farming practices behind every bag. Visitors to the roastery can watch the process firsthand, experiencing a working small batch operation up close.
