NICARAGUA LA BANDA

butterscotch, cherry and a heavy, long body

Dipilto is a tiny town just a few miles from the border with El Salvador in Nicaragua’s Nueva Segovia coffee region.

For many years, we have been working with our exporting partners and producers in Nueva Segovia to slow their coffee drying process and to dry their coffees on raised beds rather than on the traditional hot, black tarps on the ground.

Thanks to the the skilled hands of Manuel Rosales and his el Puma (dry mill),  we’ve seen a remarkable cup profile emerge from Dipilto: sweet, clean and dynamic. He works closely with producers there who have banded together and delivered their catuai, villalobos, and caturra varieties.

The coffees were dried slowly and processed carefully and the result is lovely: butterscotch, cherry and a heavy, long body. We are thrilled to taste the combined efforts of these Dipilto farmers and look forward to supporting their projects in the harvests to come.
