TEAMWORK PAYS OFF

This coffee is a collaboration between Luis Alberto and two other farmers named Romulo Victor and Andres Figueroa.  Luis buys the wet parchment from them and then does the drying and final milling on his own. A major part of producing great coffee is processing it properly.  A farmer could grow the best coffee and pick only the ripest cherries but if the coffee is processed poorly it would taste horrible. Luis is a time-honored expert at processing coffee and Andres and Romulo are great farmers. A perfect match.

La Carolina is the type of coffee that I could drink all day long.  It is super sweet and chocolaty with hints of fruit that don't overwhelm.

-Jeff Brooks, Green Coffee Buyer & Co-Owner

La Carolina, sourced from the Nueva Segovia region of Nicaragua, represents a collaborative effort between producers Andres Figueroa Lopez and Romulo Victor Paguaga. This lot features the Caturra varietal, a plant widely recognized for its reliable yield and balanced cup profile. Processed using the washed method, the coffee undergoes a meticulous cleaning stage that typically highlights the inherent clarity and acidity of the bean.

Roasted by Giv Coffee, this selection presents a classic profile defined by notes of chocolate, caramel, and apple. While washed coffees are often celebrated for their clean, crisp finish, the specific sensory experience can be further explored by referencing a flavor wheel. At 1300 masl, La Carolina offers a grounded, approachable cup that showcases the traditional characteristics of Nicaraguan coffee production. This entry serves as a testament to the careful cultivation practices maintained by the producers in Nueva Segovia.
