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.
