Description: 5 lbs. Nicaragua La Finca La Rubia Medium/Dark Roasted Coffee Beans, Fresh Roasted Daily Tastes as Toffee apple, sweet, caramel, green apple acidity...wonderful at any roast level too! Nicaragua - coffee cultivation was introduced to Nicaragua during the mid-1800s. At one time, Nicaraguan coffee was more popular and sought after than it is today. Nicaraguan coffee trade has been impacted by hurricane devastation as well as the politics and ravages of civil war, and a long interruption during the cold war years when the US prohibited the importing of Nicaraguan coffee. Fortunately, today, Nicaragua appears to be making a comeback. Nicaraguan coffee is wet-processed, with a mild, light acidity, medium body, with hints of vanilla and a nutty bouquet This award winning coffee is produced at La Finca, the Young Life Camp and Farm in the mountains of Nicaragua. For Nicaraguans, La Finca is a paradise, a beautiful retreat from the harsh realities of a poverty culture. Here we grow some of the best coffee that Nicaragua has to offer. Not only are our coffee workers paid a dignified wage, but every penny of profit is used to send a Nicaraguan young person to the Young Life Camp. This is why our coffee is BEYOND BEANS. Our camp doubles as a working farm where we grow and sell world-class coffee—the profit of one bag of coffee goes to send one Nicaraguan youth to a camp for a day. Additionally, we have a steady stream of North American mission teams visit, who experience a deep transformation that radically affects their own churches in the states. When we sell a bag of coffee, we are making this Nicaraguan ministry to young people self-sustaining and self-supporting. That is why we say that 100% of what we do with our coffee is to benefit young Nicaraguans, to reach them with the message of the Christian gospel, and to help them navigate through the difficult waters of a poverty culture. Your purchase of coffee is making a difference in the lives of hundreds of Nicaraguans. As you enjoy it and share it with your friends, tell them the story of our work here with Young Life Nicaragua. Nicaraguan coffees have a wide range of flavor attributes. Some cup like Mexican coffees from Oaxaca, others have a more pronounced acidity. Some are mildly citrusy and bright. The Nicaragua La Rubia presents a crisp, fruity cup with a baker's chocolate finish to top off the taste. This coffee has a medium body and presents a pleasant, comforting finish. A wonderful afternoon, evening, or late night coffee, the La Rubia offers a distinct difference in morning blend coffees. This is an elegant coffee, not a processing experiment...this coffee will not disappoint you. Additionally, this coffee has enough body to stand up to dark roasts and the great balance and pungent bitter sweetness is unparalleled! The versatile, dense bean allows it to be roasted at any level you desire to taste. Roasted to Vienna stage, this coffee can make an excellent and unique single-origin espresso. This coffee has a citric taste with a smooth, medium body and a pleasant sweet finish. Strict High Grown European Preparation over 1000 meters: versatile dense water proc3essed bean. Powerful but quietly rounded in acidity, with a complex range of aromatics clustered at the orange, dark chocolate end of the spectrum. This is not a fussy coffee, but one that can be presented in a classical, rich medium roast. The versatility of this bean allows roasting at any level. Did you know: Ground roasted beans lose their optimal flavor in about 2 days? Whole roasted beans lose their optimal flavor in about 2-3 weeks. If your coffee wasn't roasted just before you purchased it, chances are, it isn't fresh. The difference in flavor between fresh coffee and stale coffee is not subtle. Did you know that without fresh coffee, your espresso machine will have a hard time producing that thick crème you are trying so hard to achieve? Drip, French Press, Vacuum or espresso - every brewing method will produce better results with fresh coffee. That is why we custom roast to your order. Or try purchasing our carefully selected green beans and roast at home. Roasting Information: Medium to medium dark roast. Our preference is just into second crack, first few pops.
