Smooth dark chocolate aroma with crisp, juicy fruit balance.
Shade-grown in rich volcanic highland soils, this single origin offers a smooth, well-rounded sensory experience. Freshly roasted to order, it pairs a deep dark chocolate fragrance with crisp green grape and sweet nectarine notes. The washed processing yields a clean, balanced cup with gentle acidity that shines whether brewed black or poured over milk, no sugar required.
Cultivated across high-altitude slopes in rich volcanic soil for complex natural sugars.
Grown under natural tree canopies to slow cherry growth for deeper flavour development.
Cleanly washed before sun drying to preserve crisp stone fruit clarity and chocolate richness.
Roasted fresh to order in small batches for peak aroma and pristine flavour balance.
Supermarket beans sit on shelves for months. We roast fresh daily so subtle fruit notes stay vibrant.
Shade-grown cherries mature slowly in natural microclimates, avoiding the flat taste of mass crops.
Pure Nicaraguan highland beans from small family producers with zero cheap commercial filler.

I really enjoy the Coffee from Nicaragua. I ground the beans slightly courser for my espresso and let it run a little less time. This way I get a very nice smooth rich chocolatey coffee with little acidity.
Thank you merlo for introducing me to single origin coffee.
The first time I ordered the 7 x 200g of different origins. A fantastic way to start the journey and having lots of fun to get the best out of each country.

In my opinion this single origin coffee is fantastic. Something between Brazilian/ Columbian ( chocolate and nutty) and Indonesian ( floral and stone fruit).
As always great coffee from merlo.
