The espresso from Finca Santa Rita is the crema magazin test winner. What a surprise and joy! Being a test winner is great in itself. But our joy couldn't be greater with any other coffee, as it comes from our own Santa Rita and was roasted by our roastery. So, we really accompanied this coffee from cultivation to the cup.
The Leica Espresso is a farm blend consisting of the Caturra and Catuaí varieties. We have divided the farm into seven micro-lots. Each micro-lot is named after one of the previous owners. Leica was not an owner, but is the farm dog who gave birth to 11 puppies in the spring. This blend is named after her and is virtually dedicated to her.

Profile
The Leica Espresso is very balanced and has a wonderfully smooth texture. It is reminiscent of dark chocolate, is slightly fruity (cherries), and has a long aftertaste.
Processing
Here, we chose the classic processing method for the region: the cherries were hand-picked, sorted in the washing channel, and washed. Afterwards, we let them rest for 16 hours in the shade and overnight, a so-called "reposa". A slight fermentation sets in, but due to the cool temperatures at night, it develops slowly. This practice gives the coffee some fruitiness and more sweetness. The next day, the cherries were de-pulped and washed. Pre-dried in the beneficio, they were then taken to the dry mill in Ocotal and dried there for 10 days with partial shade to 12% moisture.
Free Shipping
