Nicaraguan FTO SHG EP Segovia

$6.25

Clean, rich and sweet, a top notch example of Nicaraguan coffee. Medium bodied, a  little hint of lemony citrus at the lighter roasts balanced with a nice sweet and smooth caramel/malty tone. Medium to dark roasts get fuller bodied and introduce some nice smoky and roasty accents into this very malty cup profile. Dark roasts into second crack turn a bit less sweet but work wonderfully for espresso or mixed beverages. Great bean as a single-origin drinker or blend base.

Description

Go all the way back to the beginning of coffee’s fair trade movement and you will find Promotora de Desarrollo Cooperativo de Las Segovias (PRODECOOP). Established in 1992, PRODECOOP now has a history of more than 25 years as a model cooperative in the coffee supply chain. PRODECOOP is an umbrella organization by design, meaning its primary purpose is to cover nearly 40 community based cooperatives operating in the departments of Esteli, Madriz, and Nueva Segovia, Nicaragua.

PRODECOOP focuses on creating access to credit for producers and investing in social programs on a larger and more impactful scale using the collective resources generated from the sale of coffee. Environmental training programs, healthcare initiatives, life insurance, and educational opportunities are just some of the ways PRODECOOP strives to support community based cooperatives and improve the quality of life for coffee producers and their families. PRODECOOP also operates a centrally located dry mill facility and cupping lab where coffee is received, processed and selected for export. Preparing coffee for export is a vital resource for local cooperatives, which ensures traceability and quality control throughout the post harvest process.

Tasting Notes: Clean, rich and sweet, a top notch example of Nicaraguan coffee. Medium bodied, a  little hint of lemony citrus at the lighter roasts balanced with a nice sweet and smooth caramel/malty tone. Medium to dark roasts get fuller bodied and introduce some nice smoky and roasty accents into this very malty cup profile. Dark roasts into second crack turn a bit less sweet but work wonderfully for espresso or mixed beverages. Great bean as a single-origin drinker or blend base.

Roasting Notes: Easy to roast and versatile coffee. Being a bit higher rated than last year, the cup holds lighter roasting nicely. Medium roasts are nice for a daily drinker, a little more body and a bit smoother. Works nicely dark as well, the roasty notes are a compliment to the malty factor and mix to create a very nice darker roast coffee. The classic Nic profile is always one of my favorite dark roast profiles although almost a shame on a cup profile this clean.
