El Quetzal | Washed Java | Nicaragua | Green Coffee

Our Java has set us apart for more than two decades and until now was unavaliable outside of long term contracts. Thanks to our innovations at El Quetzal we've seen production and quality skyrocket from our staple varietal.

Origin

This coffee is entirely single-source, farm-level reserve, Strictly High Grown coffee, sourced from our flagship, El Quetzal Estate in the Department of Matagalpa.

Cupping Notes:

A longtime favorite for it's strong and consistent cupping scores, for the 2023/24 harvest we found a strong cup with our own grade of 85. 

Roasting Notes:

Lighter roasts retain the depth of the fruit while medium roasts develop the chocolate notes for a notable body. Overall, like most Nicaragua coffees this has a low acidity. 

Process

This coffee is washed at our wet mill at the farm and then brought to our dry mill outside the town of Matagalpa, Beneficio San Miguel.

This coffee is the foundation for a number of our blends as well as our Classic Java and Modern Javanica single varietals coffees.
