This coffee is from Finca San Francisco in Jinotega, Nicaragua, grown at 1,350-1,400 meters altitude by farmer Don Francisco. The varieties are Caturra Estrella and Catuai, processed using the washed method with 24-hour fermentation. The medium light roast offers flavor notes of plum sauce, hazelnut, vanilla cream, marshmallow, and malic acidity with a big body. Sourced through Gold Mountain Coffee Growers, a direct-trade social enterprise supporting sustainable farming practices.
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.
