Parainema #2 – Nicaragua

After three years, we are returning to Nicaragua with coffee from Sabio Coffee. In addition to the quality, the fact, thah Czech and our friend Zuzka Černá is behind this coffee.

She takes care of quality control, fermentation processes and the running of the mill at finca Aurora. In short, these beans are her coffee babies. If you follow our social networks and mentions, you could have registered that we went personally to try and choose her coffee and document the farm.

Finca Aurora is a truly large colossus, employing up to 600 workers from the surrounding villages during the main harvesting season. Sabio Coffee meets the highest ethical aspects of employment and the workers are rewarded above standard on their farms.

When choosing coffee, we really liked their popular variety paraneima, characterized by a larger volume of coffee beans. These varieties respond very well to fermentation. This lot was dried for 25 days in African raised beds.

This lends the coffee a beautifully balanced sweetness reminiscent of Turkish honey and ripe cherries. The finish turns into quality cocoa.
