Los Papales. Cafe de Nicaragua

About This Coffee

This is a specialty coffee from the Jinotega region in northern Nicaragua, produced by the López family who have been cultivating coffee for three generations on their approximately 200-hectare farm. The coffee is grown at an altitude between 1300 and 1700 meters above sea level and processed using the washed method, which involves manual harvesting of ripe cherries, flotation, depulping, mucilage removal with clean water, and controlled drying on elevated beds and mechanical dryers. The Pacamara varietal creates a clean cup with bright acidity and silky body, scoring 87.75 points. The flavor profile highlights notes of plum, red apple, orange, cashew, milk chocolate, and tropical fruits with a citrus and red fruit finish.
