About This Coffee

12oz bag We Taste: Blueberry, Raspberry, White Wine, Sweet Tea, Lemon, Rustic Sugar Region: Jinotega, Nicaragua Process: Natural Elevation: 1,300 - 1,500 meters Varietal: Caturra, Catuai This coffee comes to us from the Finca La Bastilla farm, one of two farms owned and operated by La Bastilla Coffee Estates. Located in the north-east region of Jinotega, Nicaragua, Fina La Bastilla is surrounded by the Cerro Datanli El Diablo natural reserve. The volcanic soil the farm sits on, its climate, and its altitude combine to create ideal coffee growing conditions. The coffee in particular is processed through the Estates own milling station. This coffee goes through the natural process, meaning the cherries are picked ripe and laid out to dry before having the fruit of the cherry removed. From this coffee we get strong ripe berry/fruit notes, such as: blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries. The fruity sweetness is rounded out by a white wine acidity and a sweetened rich black tea like body.

Småstad Coffee Roasters

Småstad Coffee Roasters opened on Broadway in Sonoma, California in July 2024, carrying forward a roasting tradition started by Peter Hodgson when he founded Barking Dog Roasters in May 1995. The operation is now led by Peter's son Victor, who rebranded under a Swedish name meaning small town, inspired by childhood summers spent in Sweden with his family. All coffee is roasted on a vintage German made Probat L12, the same machine the family has used throughout its nearly three decades in specialty coffee. The new space pairs the roastery with an in house Scandinavian bakery turning out cardamom buns and lingonberry pastries daily, blending the Hodgsons' Nordic heritage with Sonoma's food culture. Barking Dog continues as a dedicated product line available through online sales and existing partners across the region.
