The Matagalpa region is known as the "Pearl of the North", because it is made up of lakes, mountains, and volcanoes. The fertility of the land and the altitude in the highlands make it ideal for growing one of the finest coffees in the world. The people of Nicaragua strive for "sustainable coffee," offering a higher quality of life for workers, environmental quality, and a quality cup of coffee. Nicaraguan coffee is shade grown, meaning a canopy of trees cover the coffee plants. This offers two benefits; a slower growing cycle for the plants that allows time for the sugars in the beans to mature, and the preservation of the natural habitat. The sun dries Finca Estate coffee naturally, so you get a definite "mountain aroma" in every cup. Dark roasted and medium bodied, this fine Nicaraguan coffee has a mild, clean flavor with a delicate honey-like sweetness.

Comments about Nicaraguan Finca Estate:
Very clean roast--no bitterness. It has a light fruity (cherry/almond) taste and finishes with a hint of caramel. Delightful morning cup of coffee that goes great with most all breakfast foods, but especially malted waffles!
