Nicaragua Santa Maria de Lourdes Red Bourbon

About This Coffee

Red Bourbon coffee from Finca Santa Maria de Lourdes in Nueva Segovia, Nicaragua, grown at 1560 meters altitude. The farm, owned by Octavio Peralta since 1970, features careful cherry selection and a specialized "washed Laurel" processing method involving dry fermentation with regular water spraying to maintain optimal pH levels. The coffee is dried on raised beds for 12-13 days before milling. This processing approach yields a clean and bright coffee with tasting notes of red apple, plum, nectarine, and golden raisin.

Nylon Coffee Roasters

Nylon Coffee Roasters was founded in 2010 by husband and wife Dennis Tang and Jia Min Lee, who named the venture after New York and London, the two cities where they had built previous careers in IT and banking. The micro roastery opened its doors in May 2012 at Everton Park, a quiet public housing estate that has since become a pilgrimage spot for Singapore's specialty coffee community. Dennis and Jia Min roast on a Probat UG15 visible through glass in a room they call The Maillard Project, and serve coffee on a restored two group La Marzocco GS/2 that was found in Seattle and refurbished in Hong Kong. A member of 1% for the Planet and World Coffee Research, Nylon signed the Transparency Pledge in 2022 and sources beans seasonally, stocking only what is fresh and in harvest.
