NEW - Nicaragua Finca Samaria

This Coffee..

Tasting notes include, Dark cherry, honey, toffee, milk chocolate, (crunchy bar) light florals.

This tasty brew comes from a single estate, single plot, microlot from the Peralto family in San Fernando, Nueva Segovia, Nicaragua.

Specifically brothers Julio & Octovio, who pioneer unique specialty preparations and are at the forefront of specialty coffee innovation.

Finca Samaria is a beautiful estate at the end of the road going from the town of San Fernando north towards the border with Honduras. It is actually so close to Honduras that if you walk to the neighboring farm, you have crossed a border. The long curvy road up to the finca gives you a beautiful overview of the farm. The different farm plots are maintained well, making use of shade trees native to the area, and growing different varieties. This farm mainly grows Caturra and Catuai, as well as smaller plots of Red Bourbon, Pacamara, and Java. The coffee growing area is 45 hectares, with and additional 85 hectares of forest area. In the middle of the farm you can find the washing station that, during the peak of the harvest season, processes washed, honey, and natural coffees. The biggest challenge of Samaria is getting the coffee down during the harvest. With rain and mud on the road, 4x4 trucks are necessary to get the coffee to the San Ignacio mill in Mozonte for drying.

We have had the pleasure of roasting coffee from the Peralta family on numerous occaisions and this is another quality offering,
