A Nicaraguan Jinotega single-origin coffee grown at 1300-1500 meters altitude in the north-central region of Nicaragua. Processed naturally, this medium roast features a rich, full-bodied profile with smooth and chocolatey notes, complemented by hints of dark chocolate and a sweet berry finish. The coffee delivers a well-balanced cup with berry, dark chocolate, and melon flavor characteristics.
Andrew Schittone and Adriana Cabrera founded Riposo Coffee Roasters after a 2019 trip to Italy reignited their shared love of coffee. Andrew's Italian heritage and Adriana's family roots in Puerto Rican coffee farming, where her grandmother operated a farm on the island, give the roastery a personal foundation that runs deeper than most. They started roasting in their garage, spent two years building the business, and opened their first retail location in Rumson, New Jersey in November 2023. The name Riposo nods to the Italian tradition of the mid afternoon pause, and the roasting reflects that sensibility: small batch, unhurried, with both single origin offerings and a classic Italian espresso blend in the lineup.
