La Embajada is a high-altitude coffee from Don Sergio's farm in Mozonte, Nicaragua, situated at 1650 meters above sea level. This single-origin coffee consists of the Red Catuai variety. It undergoes an anaerobic pulped natural process, involving a 48-hour fermentation in cherry followed by an additional 48-hour fermentation after depulping. The resulting cup is bright and expressive, featuring distinct flavor notes of cherry hard candy, rose petals, peaches, and spiced citrus.

Café Integral was founded in 2012 by Cesar Vega, who was born in Jinotepe, Nicaragua and moved to Miami at age three, with a mission to champion Nicaraguan coffee exclusively. Vega purchased his first roaster, an Ambex YM 15, on eBay for $10,000 at age 23, and now operates a 15 kilo Loring in Queens alongside a 12 kilo Probat in Managua. The company maintains complete vertical integration from grower to cup, with Vega spending more than three months on the ground with producers during each harvest, participating in soil analysis and mill maintenance. Café Integral operates locations in New York's Nolita neighbourhood, Chicago, and Los Angeles, all focused on showcasing the depth and variety of Nicaraguan specialty coffee.
