Roaster’s Notes
This dark roasted Nicaraguan coffee comes from five small farms located in the department of Jinotega, Nicaragua. Juan de Dios Castillo and his wife Miriam Aruaz began buying the land to form the Paraíso farms in the 1980’s with money earned from their tailor shop, which is still in operation today. This coffee stands up to a dark roast, enhancing its already sweet nature and developing into a deep velvety chocolate.
