This washed Java variety Education Lot represents the combined harvests of a small number of producers located in the Jinotega region of northwest Nicaragua. The coffee is named after the national flower of Nicaragua, Sacuanjoche, which is known for it’s enchanting blooms that become particularly fragrant after sunset. True to it’s name, we find a floral quality in this coffee that we do not often taste in coffees from Nicaragua. This is likely attributable to the java plant genetics, which are considered to be directly descended from an Ethiopian Landrace population. Similar to qualities we experience with many washed Ethiopian coffees, we find distinct tea-like florals in the aromatics of this coffee, followed by mildly sweet flavors reminiscent of golden apple, bartlett pear, and delicate browning sugars.
