Los Nubarrones, Nicaragua (Filter)

Smooth and sweet

The Profile

This is the first natural Nicaraguan we have ever brought in and it definitely doesn't disappoint. The Java varietal has a long history in coffee and is an excellent choice for smallholder farmers due to its resistance to disease and low fertiliser requirement, which goes hand in hand with the eco friendly cultivation taking place in Finca Los Nubarrones.

In the cup it has a sweet, heavy caramel mouthfeel at first, followed by a bright, citrus sparking acidity which cleanses the pallet ready for the next sip. It's a real crowd pleaser that still retains complexity.

The Producer

Finca Los Nubarrones is owned by Mariano Rafael Montealegre Callejas since 2010, acquired through purchase. The farm is located 5 kilometers west of El Avion, in Quisulí Arriba, Mosonte, Nueva Segovia.

On this farm, three permanent workers are employed, and during the harvest and collection period, which takes place from December to April, the number of employees increases to 12. Los Nubarrones spans an area of 9.5 hectares and yields an average of 12 quintals of cherry per hectare. The coffee variety grown is Java, cultivated at altitudes ranging from 1450 to 1700 meters on sandy loam soil.

The cultivation process is eco-friendly, with the farm providing shade through forest, fruit, and musaceae species. Low-intensity pesticides and organic and synthetic fertilizers are used. The coffee plants are pruned to improve their tissue and shade is managed to increase light infiltration.
