Summer Single Origin from El Peñón, Nicaragua

Jamaica Blue releases its new seasonal single origin just in time for the Australian Summer! Enjoy this truly exceptional coffee from the El Peñón on the La Bastilla Estate in Jinotega, Nicaragua.

Nicaraguan coffees are some of the best specialty coffees in the world. As a coffee growing nation, they have been asserting their reputation on the global specialty coffee scene for having dynamic coffee varietals and advanced processing methods. Nicaraguan coffees have the benefit of being grown in mountainous regions with access to volcanic soil & unique weather conditions.

The El Peñón is a naturally processed coffee, meaning it’s hand-picked when the cherries are very ripe then it’s slowly and carefully sun-dried to ferment the flavours within the coffee cherry, producing the amazing taste of this coffee. With intense sweetness and more festive flavours to suit the summer season, you will taste notes of pineapple, fresh cocoa & blueberries!
