We believe, that when possible, we should cut out the middleman and buy directly from the grower. When we found this grower, we were impressed by the exceptional quality of their shade-grown coffee. It’s the exceptional quality that shows the pride this community takes in their coffee. We offer this gourmet coffee both as a green bean and a roasted bean. La Union is a farm and mill high in the green mountains Las Sabanas, Nicaragua. Its coffee is grown under native-species shade at elevations above 4,300 feet. Relatively light roasted but deep-toned, with a big body, rich, Cabernet-like acidity, with a black-cherry fruit that saturates the profile from bottom notes to its complex flavor and sweet finish. A particular favourite of lovers of dry, full-bodied red wines. Medium-roasted but low-toned and full-bodied, this coffee constitutes a superb foil for rich desserts.
