This is a limited-edition microlot Pacamara from Jinotega, Nicaragua, naturally processed at 1300-1500 MASL. The coffee features tasting notes of mango, candied orange, cognac, grilled grapefruit, brown sugar, and lilac with aromatics of papaya, blueberry, and brown sugar. It has a velvety, smooth body with low to medium acidity, roasted to a medium level. The beans are hand-selected using Brix refractometer readings to ensure peak ripeness and maximum sweetness.
Blind Dog Coffee was founded in 2007 by Mark Berry in Gardnerville, Nevada. Mark developed cancer as a young child that ultimately threatened his eyesight, and by age 49 he became legally blind, ending a 30 year career and prompting him to learn professional coffee roasting. The roastery uses 100% USDA Certified Organic beans with a GMO free, no additives guarantee, and sources ethically in support of fair labour practices. A portion of all proceeds goes to the Northern Nevada Children's Cancer Foundation, reflecting Mark's personal connection to childhood cancer. The business operates a roastery headquarters in Gardnerville alongside a coffee shop and café in nearby Minden.
