Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout
Luz is a washed Red Catuaí from the highlands of Dipilto, Nicaragua. Through controlled fermentation and careful patio drying, it reveals a bright and clean expression of the region.
It’s a smooth, radiant coffee — yellow-fruit sweetness lifted by gentle malic acidity.
Luz is crafted for a light, uplifting cup: clear, sweet, and quietly vibrant.
Yellow Fruits · Mandarin Orange · Cocoa
A smooth cup with medium body, malic acidity, and a velvety-sweet aftertaste.
Luz is intentionally roasted to perform well in all common home methods — from moka pot to espresso or simple filter brews.
Expect bright yellow-fruit sweetness, gentle citrus clarity, and a smooth, lingering finish regardless of how you prepare it.
We recommend resting the coffee for 5–10 days after the roast date to let the harsher notes fade and the sweetness, clarity, and true character of the cup fully develop.

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.
