Blind Assessment

Gently roasty; pungent yet balanced. Nut-toned chocolate, cedar, prune, chrysanthemum in aroma and cup. Roast-rounded but rich acidity. Plush mouthfeel. Chocolate carries into a round, rich finish.

Notes

Led by Fatima Ismael, Las Hermanas is an innovative group of female coffee farmers in Jinotega, Nicaragua that has organized to market and sell its coffee cooperatively. This coffee tied for third-place honors in the Central America and Mexico category at the 2014 HarVee awards for retail-roasted renditions of green coffees imported to North America by Sustainable Harvest Specialty Coffee Importers. Founded in 1990 as a division of its parent company Pannikin Coffee and Tea, one of the West Coast’s pioneering specialty coffee roasters, Cafe Moto is a second-generation family-owned-and-operated business that encourages sustainability.

Who Should Drink It

A fine choice for those who enjoy a coffee with a roast note that complements without overwhelming the underlying character of the coffee.
