Description
Coming from family-owned farms organized around Asociación Aldea Global Jinotega (Aldea Global), an organization operating in the department of Jinotega, Nicaragua. Aldea Global has more than 500 members and 47 per cent are women, the result of investing revenues in gender equality programs focused on healthcare and small business lending. Olomega coffee is produced by descendants of an indigenous group called the Chorotegas who live in the village of Olomega.
Tasting Notes: Rich, sweet and malty, a good example of Nicaraguan coffee. Best from a medium to dark roast. Medium bodied cup with lower acidity and a sweet edge. A hint of citric crispness at the medium roast level. 2nd crack or darker the cup will be bolder with no citric component, adding some complimenting smokiness into the malty dark tones. We did also enjoy this coffee at a light roast; a softer and sweeter cup but will risk a little earthy/nutty/grassy if too light.
Roasting Notes: Easy bean to roast for medium or dark roast fans. Very fresh decent looking beans with medium chaff levels but will roast pretty two toned. One can tell its a co-op production with a couple different strains & densities (altitudes the coffee came from). A little more challenging to hit lighter roast points. Touching second crack is a good & easy starting point but many will like taking it a shade or two lighter.
