This Coffee from Nicaragua is of the Caturra Catimor Catuaí varietal. It has a beautiful complexity with hints of guava, cocoa, and mild fruit. It is very well balanced with a smooth body and a sweet lingering finish.

El Quetzal Estate is a large and immaculately-managed operation Matagalpa region of central Nicaragua. El Quetzal borders the El Arenal national park which is part of the protected bio-corridor which is being set aside for the Quetzal, an exotic Central American native bird species and a revered national symbol in Guatemala.

Please note that we dark roast this coffee unless you, the customer, request otherwise. We have experimented with various degrees of roast styles on this particular coffee and find roasting it dark brings out a sweet carmelization that just isn't develop unless we turn the roaster heat up. A great choice for single origin espresso as well as French press.
