Nicaragua Maritza & Francisco Javier

About This Coffee

This coffee comes from Maritza and Francisco Javier. Their farm, Santa Teresita, in Jinotego, is 1325 MASL. The maracatu varietal is a cross between Pacamara and Caturra. The ripest cherries are hand-picked, sorted, and sealed in barrels to ferment anaerobically. The cherries are then rinsed and placed on raised drying beds for 34 days to dry in the sun. The flavors remind us of black cherry syrup, blackberry, Cantaloupe, cherry lifesaver, red licorice, and brown sugar.
