Java - Natural Microlot
Natural Java microlot of rare finesse, with jasmine and vanilla unfolding into a long, dried fruit finish. A reserve coffee for the moments worth slowing down for.
Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout
Java is a natural microlot from Finca Bethania, in Macuelizo, Nueva Segovia, Nicaragua. The cherries are dried whole on shaded patios, slowly, so the fruit has time to pass its sweetness into the bean.
Java is a rare variety with long, elongated beans and a naturally floral character. On this farm it gives our most delicate cup: jasmine, vanilla and dried fruit over a light, silky body.
Java is for the moments you want to slow down and notice every layer in the cup.
Jasmine · Vanilla · Dried Fruit
A light, silky cup with floral clarity, gentle sweetness and a long, dried fruit finish.
Java is roasted to let its florals speak, and they open up most in pour-over: V60, Chemex or Kalita. As espresso, the vanilla and dried fruit come forward.
We recommend drinking it black, so nothing covers the jasmine.
Rest the coffee for 5 to 10 days after the roast date to let the sweetness, clarity and true character of the cup fully develop. Keep the tin closed between brews.

Sale price€18,00
A microlot is a small lot harvested from one part of a farm, then picked, processed and dried on its own. Kept apart from everything else, it shows exactly what one variety, one plot and one process can taste like.
Finca Bethania
In the hills of Macuelizo, where coffee grows inside preserved native forest rather than under planted shade. Planted in 1991 and run today by the sisters Ana and Martha Albir, the third generation on this land, Bethania is where our Java comes from.

Land of Volcanoes and High-Altitude Coffee
Nicaragua sits at the centre of Central America and has become known for producing clean, high-altitude arabica coffees. Volcanic soils, mineral-rich land, and a mix of tropical and mountain microclimates create ideal conditions for sweet, balanced cups with bright acidity.
Across the country’s 130,000 km², coffee plays a major economic role, with around 140,000 hectares under cultivation and more than 500,000 people depending on the sector. Over 90% of Nicaragua’s production is arabica, grown mainly in the cooler northern regions.
With extraordinary biodiversity — forests, volcanoes, lakes, and wildlife — the country shapes coffees with distinct character and depth.
Home of Nicaragua’s Most Awarded Micro-Lots
Nueva Segovia is Nicaragua’s most prestigious coffee region. Home to 12 coffee districts, 267,000 inhabitants, and over 5,000 farming families, the area cultivates roughly 21,800 hectares of arabica at high elevations.
Its cool climate, mountain winds, and fertile volcanic soil have made it famous for micro-lots with great sweetness, clarity, and complexity. Varieties such as Caturra, Catuaí, Catimore, and newer genetics like Maracaturra, Java, and Geisha thrive here.
The region contributes 14% of Nicaragua’s national production and consistently produces some of the country’s most awarded coffees.
Journey Behind the Cup
Coffee process from Seed to Sip
Only the Ripest Cherries
Our pickers select cherries one by one. Only perfectly ripe ones make it through. This careful harvest ensures quality in every lot.
Transforming Fruit Into Coffee
Cherries are pulped, washed, or dried with precision. Each method shapes clarity, sweetness, and texture. This step defines the coffee’s character.
Bringing Flavors to Life
Roasting balances heat, timing, and intuition. Every bean reveals bright, sweet, or deep notes. This moment unlocks the coffee’s full expression.
Turning Craft Into Ritual
Brewing highlights different sides of the coffee. Water, temperature, and technique work together. This is where precision meets creativity.
From Our Hands to Yours
The final moment: aroma rising, flavors unfolding. A cup shared with friends, customers, or simply yourself — this is the journey completed.
