El Pastoral Natural Tasting Notes
Sweet notes of black cherry, red apple, and muddled red fruit combine with nutty notes of toasted almond to open this coffee. Sweet notes of dried fig and red fruits blend with semi-sweet, subtly herbaceous notes of cacao and baker’s chocolate to finish the coffee.
About The Coffee Producer
This coffee is the product of Juan de Dios Castillo and his four siblings who operate the organic certified Finca el Pastoral. In addition to cultivating coffee, the siblings also operate a mill and exporting business This particular lot was grown on the family's farm and selected for natural process milling due to the high quality of the raw coffee cherry. Natural process coffees are quite unusual for Nicaragua because the rainfall and humidity make drying coffee cherries with the fruit intact difficult.
