A staple coffee from a legendary farm.
Santa Maria de Ostuma is a storied and cloud-capped resort in one of the most picturesque areas of Nicaragua. The New York Times remarked in a 1968 article - “This may be the only place on our continent where, in one day, you can shoot a wild boar, land a 20-pound lake trout, unearth a priceless pre-Christian ceramic and watch the brilliantly plumed quetzals mate.” Santa Maria is a coffee estate by excellence, with a nearly 100-year-old history of growing different coffee varieties at around 1350m above sea level. This month we bring you a staple: robust chocolate notes and a classic profile–a prototypical coffee that will appeal to nearly every palate.
Roasted by Mauricio Ruiz, Q Grader, in Managua, Nicaragua.
