This single origin coffee is from the Jinotega region of Nicaragua, grown at 1300-1500 meters above sea level. The beans are processed using the natural method. This coffee has a rich, full-bodied flavor profile with smooth and chocolatey notes, featuring hints of dark chocolate, berry, and melon. The region's rolling hills provide ideal coffee growing conditions.
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.
