Nicaragua San Juan Rio de Coco – Fair Trade Organic

Taste: Full-bodied and rich, this FTO Nicaragua has natural sweetness and unobtrusive acidity that makes it work well as a base for a darker roasted espresso blend.  Consider pairing this with FTO Mexican Chiapas or any Central American bean for a complex and interesting cup of espresso.

Roast: Medium/Dark (Full City Roast) and Dark (French Roast) work well for this bean.

About:  While many Central American countries were discovered as specialty coffee producers during the 1980’s, Nicaragua was still relatively unknown. Political and economic difficulties the country faced during this period created a high degree of instability and corruption which affected the coffee industry. In the 1990’s new incentives arose for capital to flow into the coffee industry. New programs were created using innovative techniques of production and processing, elevating the quality of their coffee and making Nicaragua an important player in the specialty coffee industry.

We are passionate about great tasting coffee that has been grown, harvested, milled, shipped, roasted, and consumed in the healthiest conditions possible. By purchasing Certified Organic coffee, we know rigorous production and processing standards have been followed and inspected each and every year by internationally recognized auditors that follow the strict standards set by the U.S., Canada, and Europe. Only an Organic Certification guarantees that coffee was produced without genetic engineering, toxic pesticides and fertilizers, or sewage sludge, which contaminate ground water in farming communities, not to mention the coffee itself. Organic agriculture protects environmental health and strives to improve soils through crop rotation, cover cropping, composting, and keeping water sources clean and free of chemicals.
