Di Stefano Nicaragua Jinotega Single Origin Coffee Beans 250g

Profile

Discover the smooth, well-rounded body of our premium single origin coffee from Jinotega, Northern Nicaragua. Grown at high altitudes (1,100 – 1,450 masl), Nicaragua's Jinotega region is renowned for producing some of the country's finest specialty coffees, thanks to its ideal growing conditions and dedicated farming practices.

Jinotega, often called the "City of Mists," is located in Nicaragua's northern highlands. The region's elevations range from 1,000 to 1,700 meters above sea level, providing a cool climate and rich volcanic soil—perfect for cultivating high-quality Arabica beans. These conditions contribute to the slow maturation of coffee cherries, enhancing the complexity and depth of flavour in the beans.

Our Di Stefano roast of Jinotega Single Origin features rich flavour notes of chocolate, almond, tropical fruit and floral undertones. This Nicaraguan treasure offers a balanced and complex cup, ideal for coffee lovers who appreciate a smooth, flavourful brew.

Variety Particulars

Made from 100% Bourbon varietal beans - Jinotega is a region famed for its lush mountains, temperate climate, and — most importantly — its exceptional coffee. Among the hidden gems this region offers is Bourbon coffee, a cherished heirloom variety known for its rich sweetness and smooth body. 

Estate Qualities

Coffee farming is a vital part of Jinotega's economy and cultural identity. The region has received international recognition for its high-quality coffee, winning multiple awards in competitions like the Cup of Excellence. Small and medium-sized producers play a significant role in maintaining the region's reputation for excellence.

Many farms employ shade-grown techniques, often under banana and mango trees, which help maintain soil moisture and promote biodiversity. These sustainable practices not only benefit the environment but also enhance the quality of the coffee.  

Flavour Profile

Jinotega coffees are celebrated for their balanced and nuanced flavours. Common tasting notes include:

• Bright acidity with floral and fruity undertones
• Hints of chocolate and caramel
• A smooth, well-rounded body

These characteristics make Jinotega coffees appealing to both specialty coffee enthusiasts and those new to single-origin brews.  

Processing Information

This Jinotega coffee is a Natural processed coffee. The natural process (also known as dry processing) is the oldest method of preparing coffee beans. Instead of removing the cherry’s outer layers before drying, the whole fruit is left intact and laid out to dry under the sun. This method allows the sugars and flavours from the fruit to seep into the bean, producing coffees that are fruit-forward, bold, and sweet.

In Jinotega’s climate, natural processing thrives. It requires careful turning and monitoring to prevent over-fermentation or mould, but when done right, the result is an aromatic, juicy cup that captures the terroir and artistry of the grower.

Brewing Tips

To highlight the vibrant fruit notes and balanced sweetness, try brewing this coffee as:

·       Espresso: Intense and syrupy with a deep berry punch.

·       Pour Over (V60 or Chemex): Clean and articulate, it brings out the nuanced flavours.

·       Stove Top (Moka Pot/Caffetiera): Enhances the unique mid note flavours of chocolate and nuts

·       Mocca Master (drip coffee maker): extracts delicate flavours precisely and cleanly, making it ideal for showcasing the subtle notes of Jinotega single origin coffee like citrus, florals, or stone fruit.

At Di Stefano we look forward to showcasing another premium Single Origin coffee that showcases the Northern Nicaraguan region.
