Nicaragua San Juan coffee beans – Unroasted (green coffee)

Nicaragua, San Juan, Del Río Coco

Flavor Indication: Candy, caramel, orange Weight: 1 kg Plantation : UCA San Juan del Rio Coco UCA San Juan del Rio Coco is a union of 8 small farmer cooperatives in the northern Nicaraguan highlands, at about 450 meters above sea level. All of their coffee is certified organic and grown in the shade, under a canopy of forests that provide critical habitat for hundreds of migratory bird species. Small coffee farms with shade are increasingly being destroyed to make way for sun-tolerant coffee with better yields and lower prices. It is estimated that more than 40% of these coffee farms in Latin America have been lost in the past decade! By supporting cooperatives like this one, we are making a difference! This coffee comes from the women within the Co-Operative, who have organized as part of the Cafe Femenino® program. This means they get an extra premium for their coffee and funding for projects to improve their entire region!
