An enticing nougat aroma leads the cup, which begins with a note of caramel sweetness melting into toffee apple. The red apple acidity provides balance, with a soft milk chocolate note rounding off the finish.

More info
This large farm is situated close to Matagalpa city, but most of the full-time workers live on the farm itself. As well as coffee, around a third of the farm is left as native forest, including nine waterfalls. They even use this water supply to drive a small hydroelectric plant, which supplies about 35% of their energy needs.
