We couldn’t stay away from Luis Alberto’s wonderful Nicaraguan coffee! This marks the third season we’ve had the opportunity to showcase coffee from his farm “Regalo de Dios” (literally “a gift from God”). Quality and consistency remain a through-line for this gem.
This naturally processed, single varietal, light-medium roasted coffee is bursting with sweetness and fruit for days. We’ve especially found this coffee to shine in manual brewing methods of all kinds. That said, it also pulls some god-tier shots for the skilled barista!
We are tasting big red fruits, with grape being the most pronounced, followed by a very sweet orange blossom / nectarine combo. As the cup cools, the fruitiness departs center stage with the arrival of a medley of caramelized sugars becoming more pronounced. Notes of graham, almond butter, and ganache will have you wishing for just one more sip!
Finca Un Regalo de Dios is a unique and particularly special place to grow coffee. The farm has loose sandy soil, with great amounts of humus, alongside an annual rainfall of between 55in and 63in. In addition, the area has a rich biodiversity of fauna and flora, with an abundance of broad-leaved trees and conifer species. The combination of these factors creates a truly unique atmosphere for coffee growing!
This coffee was imported in partnership with The Coffee Quest, whose growing team of staff and farmer partnerships are committed to transparency, long term sustainability and quality. We're thrilled to present this coffee to you all!
