This washed and sun-dried coffee comes from the sister farms La Gloria/Limoncillo. It is a JavaNica varietal, tasting like both an Ethiopian (citrus) and Java coffee (heavy body), yet at the same time, tasting like something completely all its own.
Prior to its cultivation, this coffee was an experiment, locked in a private research lab grown for years in hidden gardens containing Ethiopian and Indonesian cultivars. The cultivars can be traced back to Ethiopian varietal lines of both the Rambung and Abyssinia, which found themselves in Java in 1928 by the hands of the Dutch. People knew little of this experiment and less knew what it would bear. That is until Nicaragua faced political instability and the operation was shut down. Then, “someone who knew someone” obtained the heirloom longberry seedstock before it was lost forever and placed twenty pounds of the seedstock in the hands of a small group of farmers.
