Nicaragua Matagalpa

This is a private coffee estate at the top of a mountain in the Matagalpa region owned by fifth generation coffee famers. It is then connected to a non-profit in Texas called Fara Coffee which imports the coffee into the states and then both sells it green and roasts the coffee at wholesale, supplying around 200 small cafes. The money then funnels back to Matagalpa where the workers are given schools, medical clinics, eldercare, food assistance, clean water.

It is one of the most complex Nicaraguans we've tasted recently, and while its still a fairly simple coffee, there are notes of plum, cocoa, citrus, and nuts underneath the general coffee flavored sweetness.
