Maracaturra Shake

About This Coffee

Maracaturra variety coffee from Nicaragua's Mozonte region in Nueva Segovia, grown at 1,500 meters altitude by producer Luis Alberto Balladarez. This lot uses the same natural process that won Luis Alberto the 2020 Cup of Excellence. The Maracaturra variety is native to Nicaragua. Hand-picked cherries at optimal ripeness are spread on African beds. Located in the Dipilto and Jalapa mountain range, this coffee develops juicy profiles with greater depth on the palate. Flavor notes include red fruits, green tea, and rosé wine.

Right Side Coffee Roasters

Joaquin Parra launched Right Side in 2012 with two thousand euros and a secondhand roaster purchased from an Italian restaurant, working out of a garage in Castelldefels, the quiet beach town south of Barcelona. He is a three time Spanish Roasting Champion and placed sixth at the World Coffee Roasting Championship in 2013. Right Side has no storefront and no interest in selling coffee in high volumes. The focus is entirely on single origin sourcing and roasting. Parra's model involves identifying promising coffee, then collaborating with producers on joint projects, typically around fermentation or drying improvements, paying premium prices especially when requesting processing modifications. The profile he aims for is clean, sweet, and structured, described by baristas as easy to work with and rewarding in the cup. Parra has said he cares more about being consistently good every day than about winning competitions.
