NIKARAGUA DON LIBERATO – Carbonic Maceratrion Natural

Hazelnuts, brownie, and dried figs dominate the cup. The profile is deep, elegant, and multifaceted, with pronounced sweetness, a velvety body, and a harmonious finish. Each sip reveals another layer of flavor, keeping this coffee interesting from the first taste to the last. This profile makes it easy to answer the question: “Just one more cup?” 

This profile is shaped by both the terroir of the high-altitude Nueva Segovia region and the processing. The coffee cherries underwent a short fermentation using the Carbonic Maceration method in small, carefully controlled batches. This process precisely brings out the fruit’s natural sweetness and complexity without letting heavy, fermentative notes dominate. The cherries were then dried on shaded raised beds, spread in a thin layer. Slow, even drying helps preserve the clarity of the profile, intensity of flavor, and velvety texture for which the best CM Natural coffees are known. .

This is another season of coffee from Finca La Bendición that we reach for with complete confidence. In previous years, coffees from Don Liberato and Sergio Jarquin have shown that they can impress not only with their character, but above all with consistently high quality. This year’s harvest confirms that they are producers worth following.
