Detailed Information
This is one of the lots that make up our direct dealing action with producers in Nueva Segovia in Nicaragua.
The Los Volcancitos farm is located in the municipality of Mozonte, within the Department of Nueva Segovia in Nicaragua. There, its owner, Sergio Gutierrez, primarily cultivates the Red Catuai variety, along with others such as Pacamara, Java, and Parainema. He also has experimental varieties like Sidra, Laurina, Amaro, and Geisha, which will begin to be harvested in the coming years.
Faced with the challenges of climate change, Sergio strives each year to increase shade on his farm by planting a significant number of trees. Furthermore, the farm is surrounded by a 500-hectare pine forest, providing a unique natural environment. To help improve the soil, he uses coffee pulp as compost.
Regarding the processing of this batch, the harvest is done manually, selecting the beans at their optimal point of ripeness and discarding any unripe ones through a flotation process. Afterward, the beans are pulped and left to ferment. Finally, the coffee beans are washed and left to dry on raised African beds for further drying.
Extraction recipe
In a V60, add 12g of medium-coarse ground coffee and pour in 94°C water in several pulses: 50g + 50g + 100g (200g of water in total). Total extraction time ~2:00 min.
Roasting and Shipping
We roast to order, which means we don't keep roasted coffee in stock at the shop. As a matter of routine, we have three roasting days per week: Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday (excluding public holidays). If you place your order before 8:00 a.m. on one of those days, your coffee will be roasted that same day; otherwise, it will be roasted the next day. Orders are sent to their destination the day after they are toasted (Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday respectively). Please note that if your order does not contain coffee, it will be shipped the next business day after it is placed and will arrive at its destination within the following 48 hours (excluding holidays). Shipping costs are calculated during the checkout process.
