NICARAGUA - Los Ocotes

Los Ocotes is a regional lot from Beneficio Las Segovias in Ocotal, Nueva Segovia, Nicaragua, owned and operated by fourth-generation coffee producer Luis Alberto Balladárez Moncada and his wife, Esperanza, as a family enterprise. Named after the Ocote, a native pine of the region, the lot reflects the family's commitment to quality and community: alongside coffee from their own farms, Finca La Bendición and Finca Un Regalo de Dios, the majority comes from neighboring smallholders the Balladárez family works with closely.

At lighter roast levels, Nicaragua Los Ocotes opens with bright red apple and warm cardamom, balanced by a sweet essence of graham cracker. Moving into medium roasts, the apple deepens into baked apple, joined by marzipan and dark caramel, while the graham cracker sweetness lingers underneath. By the darker roast levels, the profile settles into roasted almond, toffee, and molasses, with a heavy, chewy body and a long finish. Throughout the roast spectrum, this coffee is sturdy and reliable, leaving you reaching for another cup. Whether brewed as a batch or served as a single origin espresso, it's excellent on its own or with milk.
