Nicaragua Angelina Estate

Roasted to order, ships within 24 hours of roasting

Peach first, cacao nibs in the middle, almond butter cake at the finish.

Nicaragua Angelina Estate is a washed lot from Finca Los Papales, the López family's farm near the city of Jinotega, grown between 1,500 and 1,700 metres. Roasted medium in Kuala Lumpur, it opens on ripe peach, brings cacao nibs through the middle and finishes like a slice of almond butter cake. It's a sweet, rounded cup that holds up in milk and opens up on filter.

A Family Farm Near Jinotega

Finca Los Papales lies five kilometres from the city of Jinotega, on the slopes of Cerro Chimborazo in the Cordillera Isabelia. The López family has grown coffee for more than a hundred years. Vicente López López planted the family's first coffee in the mountains of Datanlí, in Jinotega. His son, Vicente López Herrera, founded his own farm, Betania, which stayed the family estate until the 1980s, when it was confiscated during the conflict in Nicaragua. Today the family runs two farms: Los Papales, and a Betania named in honour of the original.

Los Papales covers about 210 hectares. It grows traditional and newer varieties, among them Caturra, Yellow and Red Catuaí, Java and Pacamara, and the family farms it agroecologically, with an emphasis on biodiversity. The farm runs a school for about 65 children, from preschool to sixth grade, where lessons, supplies and a daily meal are free for the children of its workers and nearby communities. There is a health centre with free consultations too. About 120 people work there all year, and up to 450 at harvest.

Angelina Estate is a mixed-variety lot, fully washed and packed in GrainPro for the trip to Kuala Lumpur. This is the 2026 harvest, and it scored 82.5 on the cupping table. It came to us through Falcon Coffees.

Brewing Recommendations

Espresso: 1:2 | 18g in, 36g out | 27–30 seconds
Filter: 1:15 | 18g coffee, 270ml water at 93°C

Good both ways. As espresso the cacao nibs and almond lead; on filter the peach comes forward. If a shot runs sour, grind a little finer.
