Nicaragua Altisimo Dark

Cupping Notes: Chocolate, Nutty, Orange, with a hint of Spice

This is  a S.H.G. (Strictly High Grown) specialty grade coffee

         This organic specialty grade coffee is cultivated in the mountainous region north of Matagalpa and Jinotega, and we roast it well into the second crack, and dump it when the color of the bean is consistently dark brown, with small specks of oil visible on the bean. The resulting flavors are incredible!

        If there is one of our coffees that we would call our “Flagship”, it is this coffee that consistently supplies deep complex flavors with a pleasant body that slides off the palate.

Photo: Our team leaders for Project Ezra are Nutie and Tom Keogh, who have been with us since 1989 and 2002. Nutie is an award winning singer from Maui and Tom is a linguist and educator who speaks the Miskito language as good as any native. They both have had an incredible impact with our teachers, students and community leaders.

Nutie Melrose came to the Coco River in 2002 with her husband David to work with Seek The Lamb. They both became friends with Tom Keogh, whom we invited to help with a pastor's conference that year. In 2005, David discovered he had cancer, and passed on in 2006. It was a few years later, that Tom returned to help us with a teacher conference, and it that time, God did a marvelous thing, and brought these two together as husband and wife. They have been a very effective couple working in our villages ever since. Nutie is a award winning singer from Maui and is a rock star on the River. Tom is one of the very best educators to work within the Miskito culture.
