    Roaster’s Notes
    When the producer behind this award winning lot was asked what good practices were implemented to produce such a stellar coffee, his response was "we work with love and dedication to the cultivation of coffee." These are practices we can get behind! It also doesn't hurt that Bayardo José Rodríguez, who runs El Barril in Nueva Segovia, Nicaragua, implements best practices including strict cherry selection, meticulous washing, and drying on raised beds.
