Our featured coffee for May is a balanced and soft washed coffee from the Jinotega district in Nicaragua. We chose a medium-dark roast color bring out a medium-heavy body and wonderful balance of acidity and roastiness. The cup starts with notes of semi-sweet chocolate immediately followed by sweet jammy notes of fresh fig. The finish is long and dry with sweet and spicy notes of cola and hints of toasted walnut. This mild coffee is sure to be a crowd-pleaser!
