Nicaragua, Single-Origin
Celebrate a Happy New Year in 2025 with the Bees Knees, a single-origin, honey-processed Nicaraguan coffee sourced from Juan de Dios Castillo’s family farm in Jinotega. The “Bees’ Knees” is an idiom that is used to describe something we like a lot. And we like this A LOT as this coffee is the very best of its kind.
Juan de Dios Castillo started his own farm called El Pastoral, which has 150 acres of coffee production. Cherries from Finca Pastoral are selected for more specialized processing rather than the more common washed processing. This honey processed lot is a stunning example of the skill and commitment Juan de Dios has invested in the family business. During the harvest, the coffee cherries are carefully harvested, sorted, and depulped. Then the remaining seed covered in mucilage is transported to the dry-mill where the weather conditions are more stable for evenly drying coffee. After drying is completed, the coffee is stored and later prepared for export at the same dry-mill. This is a truly integrated model, in which J&M Family Coffee ensures quality control and traceability from farm to export.
Amy developed a medium-roast for the Bees Knees to draw out the flavors of Melon, Honey and Nuts. We think it tastes amazing in a Pour Over (check out our Essentials set to grab your own Owlverick’s Pour Over Tool), Drip and Espresso. To bee or not to bee, that is the question.
