Nicaragua Jalapa SHG EP Organic Single Origin Roasted Coffee Beans
Introducing our latest special single origin from Nicaragua with a cupping score of 80 and certified organic. The Peralta family’s coffee tradition dates back to the beginning of the 20th century. Farms are located in the Dipilto and Jalapa mountain range (Cordillera Dipilto y Jalapa) in the department of Nueva Segovia at altitudes ranging from 1150 to 1600 MASL. The high altitude and favourable climate is perfect for specialty coffee in Nicaragua. This combination of ideal weather conditions, proven varietals and unique post-harvest processes have built Peralta’s reputation. Prior to harvest, each plot is hand-picked based on a visual inspection to guarantee uniformity in ripeness (maturation) and consistent brix concentration. [Sugar levels] Harvesting is continually monitored to ensure consistent level of cherry ripeness and every plot coffee is traceable. At the mill, coffee is fermented anaerobically, a process that allows detailed control over the process and ultimate consistency in terms of taste. Drying is done naturally with the coffee on raised beds in a vast drying area and again carefully monitored until the right moisture content is achieved. Di Bartoli recommends a recipe of 20g in and 36g out at 93 degrees celcius for espresso.
