Nicaragua: Limoncillo, Caturra, Honey

Finca Limoncillo is located in Matagalpa and, at 171 hectares in size, it. is. huge! Situated at an amazing location, it boasts nine waterfalls within the farm and is owned by the Mierisch family; they’re good friends, and also well-respected producers in Nicaragua. They’re known for their experimental processing, varietal work, and exceptional coffee.

Layers of wafer biscuit and sweet orange creme make for a very moreish cup, with just a hint of dried currants on the finish.
