Nicaragua Finca Los Papales Red Pacamara Washed

Nicaragua – Los Papales

Tasting notes: Hibiscus, Cherry, Tropical Fruit & Lime

Grown at elevations of 1,300–1,500 metres in the mountainous Jinotega region of Nicaragua, this coffee comes from Finca Los Papales, a family-run farm with a coffee-growing heritage spanning more than a century. The farm lies on the slopes of Cerro Chimborazo, where a cool cloud-forest climate and diverse landscape create favourable conditions for growing high-quality Arabica.

This lot features the Red Pacamara variety, known for its distinctive character and potential for complexity in the cup. Carefully handpicked at peak ripeness, the coffee is processed using the washed method, highlighting its clarity and vibrant fruit character.

Expect expressive notes of hibiscus and cherry, complemented by tropical fruit and a refreshing lime-like brightness. A velvety body brings balance and texture, creating a lively yet smooth cup.

Beyond coffee production, the López family maintains a strong commitment to its local community, supporting education and healthcare initiatives on the farm. Their approach combines generations of experience with careful processing and a long-term dedication to quality.
