Santa Maria De Lourdes . Cafe De Nicaragua

About This Coffee

This coffee is from Finca Santa María de Lourdes, owned by the Peralta family, located in San Fernando, Nueva Segovia, Nicaragua, approximately 25 km from Ocotal near the Honduras border. The farm sits within lush, forested hills at altitudes between 1300-1500 meters above sea level. The varietal is Catuaí Rojo, processed using an anaerobic natural method. Ripe cherries are sorted, washed, and fermented in hermetic 450L tanks for up to 72 hours in an anaerobic environment at approximately 15 degrees Celsius. After fermentation, cherries are dried over 30 days, initially in single layers for three days, then covered and hand-turned three times daily. Flavor notes include apple, raspberry, blackcurrant, and orange.
