This coffee is from La Lámpara farm in Jinotega, Nicaragua, grown by farmer Marlene del Carmen at 1,022 meters altitude. The coffee features Red and Yellow Catuai varieties processed using the washed method, with hand-picked ripe cherries fermented for 18 hours and washed to preserve natural clarity and sweetness. Light roasted, it offers cupping notes of cherry, plum, and vanilla custard with a balance of fruit and confection that brings a gentle richness.
Steel Oak Coffee was founded in 2016 by Carl and Michele Dupper in Ormond Beach, Florida, with a focus on small batch specialty grade coffee. The roastery produces clean, natural flavors without additives, letting the bean speak for itself across a rotating selection of origins from Ethiopia, Kenya, Nicaragua, Brazil, Guatemala, and Colombia. Steel Oak sources ethically and seasonally, with full traceability that allows the Duppers to share the producer stories and farming practices behind every bag. Visitors to the roastery can watch the process firsthand, experiencing a working small batch operation up close.
