Tierra Madre | Nicaragua | Limited Release

We had a number of emails when our last coffee from Nicaragua left the limited release program, so it was exciting for me when a few new samples landed on the cupping table. Tierra Madre is produced by 125 women-owned farms in the Jinotega region.

The group are all from a cooperative known as Aldea Global. This is a larger cooperative of more than 13,000 members. The cooperative exists to help smaller farmers improve everything from coffee quality at the farm level, to obtaining farm certifications that will improve sale prices for the farmer. Producers are incentivised with higher prices for better quality coffee.

Whilst I love that the limited release program gives us the opportunity to try new flavour profiles that expand your horizons, I also know that sometimes you just need more of what you already love. This coffee from the women producers of Jinotega is the latter - a classic nutty/choc coffee for your morning strong flat white.
