Vecindad is a single-origin Nicaragua coffee crafted from multiple neighboring farms in the Matagalpa and Jinotega regions. It uses natural processing, with cherries dried on raised beds to concentrate sugars. The blend-based lot is roasted light to highlight fruity and sweet notes, and is designed to reflect the cooperative work of Gold Mountain Coffee Growers and local producers.
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.
