Process: Washed

A fully bodied coffee with subtle apple acidity and caramel sweetness, also some dark chocolate and hazelnut notes. Clean finish.

These coffee beans are largely shade-grown, at altitudes of 1250-1450m, in the protected biodiverse tropical paradise of the Cerro Dantali El Diablo Nature Reserve.

The varietals used are Red Catuai, Yellow Catuai & Caturra, and this is a washed processed coffee bean. 

The Speciality Coffee Association score is 86, and the roast level is medium. This is the same beans used for Custard Cream Nicaragua, but taken to a slightly more developed roast to increase some of the sweeter notes, resulting in reduced acidity.

How it Tastes

This is the same high-quality shade-grown coffee bean used for Custard Cream Nicaragua, from the La Bastilla estate in the tropical paradise of a natural reserve in Jinotega, northern-central Nicaragua.

However, the slightly more developed roast produces a different taste profile, reducing the acidity and amping up the sweetness.

For me there’s the enjoyable but not too overpowering apple acidity, balanced by a caramel sweetness, so this coffee for me is reminiscent of toffee apples, although there are also some chocolate and nutty notes.

La Bastilla Farm

La Bastilla coffee farm is located around 20 kilometers from Jinotega, in the stunning tropical paradise of the Cerro Dantali El Diablo Nature Reserve, an extremely important biodiverse protected habitat.

The farm is situated in a unique microclimate, with an abundance of natural shade-providing trees, volcanic soil and a natural biodiversity which results in exceptional quality coffee with distinctive qualities.

La Bastilla became Rainforest Alliance certified in 2003 and maintains an ongoing program for continuous improvement.

Nicaragua Toffee Apple

Usually drink more classical chocolate type espresso. Ordered a small bag of this and had to wait three days due to the freshness of the roast. Managed 37 grams in 29 seconds first shot and a lovely tasting coffee with a flavour profile that is completely new to me. A very slight acidity that transformed in different tastes ending up quite rich in each sip. That's the best I can explain it as my palate isn't educated enough, but a very enjoyable and delicious coffee. I would definitely recommend.

More depth to it than you'd assume from the description. Made as filter in a Sage Precision brewer.

This is a lovely tasting bean for espressos and strong, short measures of americanos.

Can’t taste the nuances!

Like the coffee but for the life of me can’t taste the flavour nuances! I like the taste that’s all that matters.

Delicious

Delicious. Does indeed have some apple tartness. Even the aroma of the grounds is delicious. No harshness.
