Niracagua Jinotega coffee bean Fully Washed – 1kg

Our Nicaraguan SHG EP is an Arabica coffee that comes from the mountainous northwest region of Jinotega. It is a Strictly High Grown coffee, meaning that the coffee was grown at high altitudes (1,200 to 1,400 m.a.s.l.), which allows the bean to develop more slowly, resulting in a denser, high quality bean. In addition, EP stands for European Preparation – a further sorting of the green coffee before it is exported, guaranteeing only the finest green beans are bagged and exported. Your favorite Coffee of the Month Club is proud to say that a great deal of our Nicaraguan coffee (including this selection) is harvested and exported from Asociacion Aldea Global.

Aldea Global began in 1992 with 22 farmers. Today, the organization assists over 1000 families, most of whom are from the Chorotega Indigenous Communities. Aldea Global offers organic specialty coffees which have provided the association with small farm loans, women’s solidarity groups and the ability to produce other agricultural products such as fresh produce and beans. The association also promotes sustainable management of natural resources, rural health clinics, installation of potable water filters and integrated pest management programs.

The Association of small farmers facilitates the growth of profitable and sustainable businesses, promoting efficient commercialization and alternative credit services. Aldea Global helps farmers stay in harmony with their environment, while producing a profitable product for the marketplace.

This selection boasts flavors of nuts and chocolate, with aromas of sweet caramel. Medium bodied, each steaming cup you enjoy is sure to be well-rounded with bright, medium citric acidity.
