ROAST – Nicaragua Don Heradio

During a visit to Nicaragua, our roasting champion Antti had the honor of visiting Don Heradio's Finca Santa Mélida farm in San Juan del Río Cocossa
in the middle of the jungle. Antti got to learn about the farm's cultivation practices, where coffee grows in the jungle in perfect harmony with other plants, such as bananas, cacao, and various nuts and beans.

Flavor profile: dark chocolate, pecan, fruity
Origin: Finca Santa Mélida, Madriz, Northern Nicaragua

Also try it as an espresso or in a French press!

Below is Antti's description of the meeting:

"In Nicaragua, they met not only a coffee farmer and a roasting champion, but also two poets. At Don Heradio's request, Antti pulled out a notebook of poems, and the poem below is dedicated to the poetic coffee farmer Don Heradio (translation in progress, the poem was written in the original language in the middle of the jungle). In addition to his extensive knowledge and visionary insight into everything related to coffee, Don Heradio has also served as the mayor of San Juan Río del Coco and as part of the army's historical research team during his lifetime. Today, Don Heradio focuses on passing on his farming expertise to the next generation while continuing his active reading and writing hobby.
