About This Coffee

This is a single origin coffee from Nicaragua, sourced through Caravela's PECA program which provides ongoing training to producers in agronomy, post-harvest processing and quality control. The coffee is made from Caturra, Bourbon and Catuai varieties, grown at 1500 meters altitude and processed using the fully washed method with 20-30 hours fermentation. The cup offers notes of stewed apple, walnut and chocolate, with low-medium acidity and medium body. Roasted for both filter and espresso brewing.
