Description

This is a private coffee estate at the top of a mountain in the Matagalpa region owned by fifth generation coffee famers. It is then connected to a non-profit in Texas called Fara Coffee which imports the coffee into the states and then both sells it green and roasts the coffee at wholesale, supplying around 200 small cafes. The money then funnels back to Matagalpa where the workers are given schools, medical clinics, eldercare, food assistance, clean water. This one works anywhere from light to French. I like it similar to a Costa Rica, about 25 seconds out of the first cracks. But you can take it to the second cracks and call it medium roast. Take it 60 seconds into the second cracks and call it French. You just can't go wrong with this one, it's a flexible coffee. It is one of the most complex Nicaraguans we've tasted recently, and while its still a fairly simple coffee, there are notes of plum, cocoa, citrus, and nuts underneath the general coffee flavored sweetness.
