Las Nubes, Nicaragua
A beautifully balanced coffee, with a light body, crisp acidity, gentle fruit notes, and a long, sweetly spiced finish.
Las Nubes, meaning “The Clouds” in Spanish, reflects the misty rainforest and high-altitude environment where this blend of Caturra, Catuai and Catimor varietals was grown. The Caravela Coffee group behind this coffee has been instrumental in transforming coffee production in the Jinotega region, offering structured training in honey and natural processing. We are pleased to report that their hard work has paid off—this is our second year featuring this coffee and it continues to impress. We look forward to further collaborations with Caravela this year.
