Single Origin Medium Roast Coffee – Nicaragua
Underrated. Quietly complex. The single origin we reach for when we want something off the standard map.
Our Nicaragua comes from smallholder farmers in Molino Norte, in the Matagalpa region — a high-altitude, clay-mineral-soil area that produces dense, complex beans without the polarizing brightness of an Ethiopian or the polarizing boldness of a Sumatra. The varietals — Yellow and Red Catuai, Catimor, and Parainema — are fully washed, fermented 12–14 hours, then dried on patios and raised beds.
This medium roast brings out the cup's softer side: cocoa through the middle, light floral and citrus tones around the edges, a balanced body that drinks easy any time of day. It's a "first single origin" recommendation for someone moving up from blends.
