This microlot from Finca El Diamante lives up to its name - a true gem from Jinotega with a well-rounded juicy-sweet body, and red fruit notes that dance on the palate. Expect the crisp sweetness of fuji apple, honey, and and bright, playful maraschino cherry notes.
These characteristics come together in a flavor profile that has earned this coffee numerous medals in the Golden Bean North America roasting competition.
Maximino Palacios and his wife Marlene are perfectionists when it comes to coffee quality at their farm, Santa Adela. Through a strong partnership with Gold Mountain Coffee Growers, they're able to continue innovating with experimental processes like this carbonic maceration microlot - a multi-time Golden Bean Award-winning coffee.
Maximino's carbonic maceration lot is a perfect example of the delicious flavor potential this experimental processing method can bring to the cup, with rich red apple body, rosy florals, sweetness like red gummy bears and a juicy, quenching mouthfeel.
