Nicaragua Las Mercedes

Las Mercedes Estate is located a few kilometers from the city of Jinotega in northern Nicaragua. This coffee grows in the shadow of the two highest peaks in the region, Mount El Chimborazo and Mount Las Mercedes. The rich volcanic soil in this area certainly makes it an ideal terroir for coffee cultivation. The signature flavors of this Nicaraguan estate are nutty and chocolate with sweet acidity and notes of raspberry or lemon. Salvador Mayorga was kicking a soccer ball around the Las Mercedes Estate as a kid but now oversees all the coffee production there.
