Agua Sarca

About This Coffee

This coffee is a single-origin offering from Finca Agua Sarca, located in the Diplito region of Nueva Segovia, Nicaragua. Produced by the Albir Vilchez family, the coffee is grown at high altitudes where cool temperatures and shade from native trees promote slow cherry maturation. This washed process Red Catuai variety offers a complex flavor profile. When brewed as a filter coffee, it features notes of apple and hazelnut, while the espresso roast highlights flavors of pear, cocoa, and marzipan.
