Nicaraguan Coffee
The farm owners, Don Francisco and his wife Blanca Nieve live very high up in Jinotega's mountains, Nicaragua. They produce exceptional quality coffee and leave a part of their farms in their natural forest state to protect spring water that bubbles to the surface. They are at such a high altitude that their coffee is harvested a full two months after the rest of the country’s coffee due to the colder climate and increased cloud cover in their farms' microclimate. The coffee beans’ slow maturity allows them to collect more nutrients, producing more complex cupping notes.
