NICARAGUA - MIRACLES

Origin: Nicaragua Region: Jinotega Producer: Mario & Angleica Farm: Los Milagros Varietal: Caturra & Catuai Elevation: 1400 MASL Process: Washed Tasting Notes: Apple, Cinnamon, Nutmeg Another great Nicaraguan coffee from our friends at Gold Mountain has arrived. With timely notes of apple and baking spices, we'd put this washed coffee in the friendly and familiar camp. A great gift and sure to please. "Mario & Angelica's farm is called "The Miracles" (Los Milagros) because it helps their family earn a living. They not only grow coffee but also grow cabbage, carrots, lettuce, potatoes, and more. A walk through their farm helps you understand why it's called The Miracles—because it produces wonders of vegetables and coffee. In fact, they are transitioning away from vegetables and toward greater coffee production. Their kids are Elmer Leandro and Yader Antonio. When asked why they're converting to coffee from vegetable production, they responded that coffee farming is better for the land." - Gold Mountain Coffee Growers Label by Ramona Muse Lambert
