Our directly sourced Nicaraguan coffee is rated in the top 3% of the world’s beans. Our farmer’s Rolyn and Lorena grow their coffee at elevations of 1,000 to 1,800 meters in the mountains outside of Managua. To keep it simple, they always say, “the higher the altitude the better the coffee.” Their arabica coffee is farmed using traditional healthier methods and the natural environment as the coffee shrubs are grown under the shade of a forest canopy. You are purchasing from farmers Rolyn and Lorena, from their entire harvest of 42,000 LBS. Smooth bodied, with a bright acidity, carrying floral, citrus and chocolate notes, and a sweet aroma.
We have three different Nicaraguan coffees; however, they are essentially the same product. We partner with various pro-life and Catholic organizations to raise funds for them. Here's how each variety contributes:
Pure Nicaraguan coffee: Supports better wages for farmers.
Love Both blend: Contributes to the pro-life movement.
Cannons Coffee: Available through our wholesale accounts.
