Coffee Description

Los Papales lies five kilometres from Jinotega city on the slopes of Cerro Chimborazo, which rises to 1,688 metres above sea level and is among the highest peaks of the Cordillera Isabelia. The farm’s distinctive topography and cloud-forest climate provide ideal conditions for producing high quality coffee.

Los Papales is a Red Pacamara variety, created by combining the Pacas and Maragogype (elephant beans) varietals, resulting in this Arabica variety that inherits each parent varietal's best qualities. In the cup, you will find a citrus acidity reminiscent of limes, a punchy body with notes of dark fruits, and a touch of hazelnuts that rounds out the cup.
