Nicaragua La Roca Coffee is located in the highest altitude of the three coffee growing areas in Nicaragua. The highest altitude can be up to 1500 meters. The coffee farm here produces only a small batch of Nicaraguan coffee beans, but our coffee raw bean purchasing experts can easily identify the coffee flavor with distinctive personality and characteristics when testing the cup. The humidity in this area is relatively low, and the low humidity makes the concentration of sugar in coffee cherries more concentrated, which makes coffee have a unique and delicate sweetness and rich flavor. The region is rich in volcanic soil and tropical rain forest cover, which helps Nicaragua to continue to produce stable, consistent and high-quality coffee beans, which are often snapped up as soon as they hit the market. This special batch is the first time to use a pre-drying method, first drying in a completely dark place, and then completing the drying process in some dark places. This slow process helps coffee beans fully show the local flavor, with orange hibiscus aroma and red plum sweet flavor. 、
