Christmas Coffee

Our Christmas coffee this year is from coffee grower, Isacio Albir.

Isacio Albir is a third-generation coffee grower and owner of Agua Sarca, in Nueva Segovia, Nicaragua. The farm spans a total area of 67.22 hectares, with 56.33 hectares dedicated to cultivating a variety of coffee plants. The remaining area is preserved as protected forest, emphasising Isacio’s commitment to environmental stewardship. This lot underwent a natural anaerobic process. First, ripe cherries are floated to remove any impurities, then placed in sealed plastic barrels for a 96-hour anaerobic fermentation period. Throughout this process, temperature and pH levels are carefully monitored, with juice being extracted through output valves to control the environment. After fermentation, the cherries are transported to Cafetos de Segovia’s dry mill, where they are spread on raised beds and patios to dry for 30 days.
