  • About Santa Luz yeast fermentation | Nicaragua

    This microlot comes from Santa Luz, a section of La Bastilla estate located in Jinotega, Nicaragua. La Bastilla estate is a large Rainforest Alliance certified farm split into smaller sections.

    This stunning micro lot was produced from coffee harvested from H3 varietal trees. This varietal is a hybrid of Caturra and Ethiopia and is capable of outstanding cup scores.

    After harvest, the coffee was fermented with added yeast specifically designed for use with coffee. This yeast helps to control the fermentation process. After fermentation, the coffee was pulped and washed to remove the fruit and dried on raised tables.

    This is a fascinating coffee with very interesting tasting notes that include pineapple, rum, tropical fruit notes and a sugar cane like sweetness.
