Nicaragua, Las Colinas

The Las Colinas community blend is named after Mozonte in Nueva Segovia, which means "between rivers and hills" in Nahuatl. Known for its fertile soil, rivers, and cloud-covered pine forests, Mozonte is about 235 kilometres from Managua and just 9 kilometres from Caravela’s Beneficio La Estrella in Ocotal. The region produces high-quality coffee thanks to its elevation, micro-climate, and experienced coffee-growing families.

The community has strong ties to Nicaragua's indigenous heritage, and coffee is a key part of their culture. Residents also make handcrafted ornaments and clay vessels using traditional techniques.

This coffee boasts a lovely mix of flavours, including notes of yellow fruits, citrus, passion fruit, and brown sugar, all with a creamy body.

Sourced from the Mozonte region of Nueva Segovia, Nicaragua, Las Colinas represents the distinct terroir of this high-altitude coffee-growing landscape. This specific lot, brought to market by Reuben Hills, showcases a vibrant profile defined by yellow fruits, citrus, and passion fruit, balanced by a grounding sweetness of brown sugar.

When evaluating coffees with such bright, fruit-forward characteristics, it is helpful to reference a flavor wheel to better identify the nuances between stone fruits and tropical acidity. While general profiles for Nicaraguan coffees can vary significantly based on processing methods and specific micro-climates, the clarity found in this selection highlights the meticulous care taken during harvest in the Nueva Segovia department. Whether you are a seasoned enthusiast or a curious newcomer, this coffee offers a compelling look at the current output from one of Central America’s most dynamic coffee-producing regions.
