Nicaragua - Finca Un Regalo de Dios Red Catuai Natural

This is Archetype's third year featuring coffee from Finca Un Regalo de Dios. This Red Catuai Natural is our third and final offering from them this year and we may have saved the best for last. The red catuai natural was a standout our first year working with them, and this year it's another beauty.

Try this coffee as espresso - you will not be disappointed! 

"Finca Un Regalo de Dios is located in the Dipilto-Jalapa mountain range in the North of the department of Nueva Segovia and sits at a range of elevations, from 1,350 m.a.s.l. at the "low" end, with lots as high as 1,800 m.a.s.l. at the top. In total, the farm is 179 acres, with around 130 acres planted in coffee. Of those 130 acres in coffee, Luis grows the following varieties: Red & Yellow Catuai, Pacamara, Maracaturra, Java, Bourbon, Catimore and some Hybrids. The farm is situated in the municipality of Mozonte (in the community of Quisuli) and the clouded forest creates a micro climate with temperatures ranging from 10 degree to 16 degrees celsius. Finca Un Regalo de Dios has a loose sandy soil, with abundant humus and has an annual rainfall of between 1,400 and 1,600mm. In addition, the farm has a rich biodiverse environment of fauna and flora, with an abundance of broad-leaved trees and conifer species. All of this together, creates for optimal coffee growing conditions. The care and processing that goes into every lot that is processed in this farm is second to none, with careful detail at every stage, starting with optimal cherry picking at the farm level all the way through carefully controlled fermentations
and drying. Washed coffees are dried for between 15-20 days, honeys 20-25 days and naturals, between 25-30 days! Luis Alberto received 6th place in the COE this year, 1st place in 2020, 1st and 5th place in 2018, as well as 3rd and 13th place in 2017.... he is no stranger to producing exceptional coffees. This is our fourth year working with Luis Alberto and every year his coffees are amongst the most fun that we work with!"
