The “Reds” by Blanca Nieve is a consistent award winning lot from Finca El Diamante in Jinotega, Nicaragua. Finca El Diamante is 100% female-owned by Blanca Nieve, one of the first farmers to join Gold Mountain Coffee Growers when she and Gold Mountain's flagship farm were both members of a Fair Trade cooperative that suffered from mismanagement. Gold Mountain has provided her financing throughout the years as well as market access, actions which have allowed her to triple the size of her farm (El Diamante). 

Working with Gold Mountain has also allowed Blanca Nieve to improve her wet mill and house, install solar drying structures, fund multiple life-saving operations for her grandchild, and produce this specialty lot that rivals smaller microlots for quality, either as espresso or pourover.

“The Reds” is a fully washed lot featuring Caturra, Bourbon, Pache, and Catuai varieties. Because Blanca's farm, El Diamante (The Diamond) is located so high in the mountains, it benefits from a longer growing cycle which means their beans have a slower maturity allowing for the development of more complex and concentrated flavors. A lighter medium roast highlighted with a longer sugar browning phase captures the brightness, juicy red fruits, and velvety texture. With notes of baked cherry, caramel, and red apple, you and your coffee loving friends will be delighted with this coffee as an addition to your home barista set up!
