About this coffee

What the roaster tells us.

Lifeboost’s Blonde Espresso is a single-origin arabica from a small farm in the mountains of Nicaragua, hand-picked and washed with spring water. Lifeboost roasts it to keep the brightness of its light roast while adding sweetness and the fuller body you want in a shot. It’s a good option if regular espresso blends taste too dark to you but very light single-origin espresso is too sharp. It comes as whole bean or ground.

About coffee from Nicaragua

Nicaragua's coffee comes mostly from the northern mountains around Jinotega, Matagalpa and Nueva Segovia. It tends to be balanced and approachable, with chocolate, caramel and soft fruit.

What the process means

In a washed process, the fruit is removed from the bean before it dries. Washed coffees tend to taste clean and bright, and show off the character of the origin.
