Nicaragua - Río Coco

About This Coffee

This coffee is from Nicaragua, specifically from San Juan de Río Coco in the Madriz region. It grows at 1,250-1,300 meters above sea level. The variety is Java, a coffee introduced from Ethiopia to Java by the Dutch in the early 19th century, later arriving in Central America in the 1990s. The coffee is produced by several local producers and follows a natural process, drying for 33 days in raised beds in a greenhouse. The harvest is from 2022/23. Tasting notes include Earl grey, molasses, and figs, with a floral character, balanced cup, medium to high acidity, and good body.

Hola Coffee

Pablo Caballero and Nolo Botana had already built a track record in coffee when they launched Hola in 2016. The pair poured their accumulated experience into an operation built around quality, accessibility, and inclusivity. Coffee is roasted daily in small batches at the Sepulveda roastery in Madrid, ensuring beans are never more than a few days old at the point of sale. Their Lagasca location earned the number 12 spot on The World's 100 Best Coffee Shops 2025. Hola also runs an academy offering both its own certification and internationally recognized SCA credentials, alongside a podcast that has become a key part of the project. Seasonal coffees rotate through washed, natural, and experimental processes, producing a range from chocolatey depth to floral brightness.
