What is a Test Roast?

When we roast, we're constantly chasing the perfect profile for each coffee. Some batches come out great — clean, balanced, enjoyable — but not exactly where we want them for our main lineup. Instead of wasting good coffee, we sell these batches here at a reduced price. Same green coffee. Same care. Just not the final word on that roast.

Tasting Notes

Every batch is different — that's the nature of a test roast. Depending on the batch you receive, you might find a chocolatey, nutty cup or something brighter with fruity and floral notes. From a clean and balanced filter to a rich, full-bodied espresso. The surprise is part of it.

Who Is It For?

Home brewers who go through a lot of coffee. Baristas dialing in their equipment. Offices that want something real in the machine. Anyone tired of paying supermarket prices for supermarket quality. You don't need to be a coffee geek to enjoy this — you just need a cup.

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

Where Every Cup Begins

Young seedlings grow under shade and careful supervision. Each plant is nurtured to stay strong and healthy. This is where every future cup starts.

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.
