Organic Nicaraguan UCA San Juan del Rio Coco Coffee | Washed Process | 3rd Wave Coffee Roasters

Organic Nicaraguan UCA San Juan del Rio Coco Coffee Beans – Washed Process Coffee Profile Tasting Notes (Based off Roaster Recommendation): Roasted Almond • Milk Chocolate • Caramelized Sweetness Origin: Nicaragua Process: Fully Washed Flavor Experience This Nicaraguan coffee delivers a grounded, comforting cup that leans into warmth, balance, and quiet complexity. Grown in the highlands of Madriz and fully washed, it carries a natural sweetness and structure that makes it incredibly versatile across roast levels. At lighter roasts, the cup opens with a soft citrus brightness—more subtle than sparkling—paired with a delicate grain sweetness reminiscent of wheat bread or graham cracker. As it cools, that brightness rounds into a gentle apple-like acidity, giving the cup a clean and approachable feel rather than sharp intensity. Moving into city+ and full city, the profile becomes more cohesive and dessert-driven. Notes of caramel, toasted sugar, and milk chocolate begin to take center stage, supported by a creamy body that builds depth without losing clarity. This is where the coffee feels most balanced—sweet, structured, and highly drinkable across brew methods. At darker development, the cup leans further into richness and weight. Dark chocolate, roasted nuts, and cocoa dominate, with a lingering sweetness that carries into the finish. Even here, the coffee maintains a smooth, rounded character rather than becoming overly bitter or smoky, making it ideal for espresso or milk-based drinks.

Coffee Origin Grown in the highlands of northern Nicaragua, this coffee comes from the UCA San Juan del Río Coco cooperative—an organization of smallholder farmers dedicated to organic practices and sustainable agriculture. Located in the Madriz region near the Honduran border, these farms sit at elevations that promote slow cherry maturation, allowing sugars to fully develop within the bean. The result is a coffee that reflects both its environment and the care behind it—clean, structured, and naturally sweet. Through collective processing and quality-focused harvesting, the cooperative produces coffees that highlight the classic Central American profile while maintaining consistency from lot to lot. This is a coffee rooted in community, transparency, and a commitment to producing approachable yet high-quality cups.
