César is back in Nicaragua this week as a member of the international jury for this year’s @cupofexcellence . Together, they’ll whittle down the 25 finest coffees produced in this harvest which will go up for auction in June. The COE is a keystone event in most producing countries - providing a platform for bringing the absolute best coffees a country has to offer to a global stage.
For us, participating in Nicaragua’s selection is an important contribution to the progress and future of coffee quality in Nicaragua. It’s an honor to be a part of it.

El Progreso
It’s often difficult to capture the landscape of a coffee farm - shrubs planted densely amongst a forest. Luckily we can have a wonderful view of this magical place - perpetually in the haze of either fog or clouds this “bowl” harnesses everything that makes the terroir of Mozonte special by any measure. The varieties here are mixed: a combo of H3, Java and Villa Sarchi. From where we stand, a small planting of Geisha is yielding its first fruits. Our first offering of the kind available in limited quantities - roasted to order - online and on Elizabeth Street.

LA EMBAJADA 🍒
Sergio Ortez’s La Embajada is the smallest and most remote of the three family farms he now runs. Situated high in the Mozonte mountains, the climate there is particularly cold and remote. The coffee ripens slowly and with some difficulty but the results are consistently exceptional.
