La Bastilla is one of the few speciality coffee estates in Nicaragua with a fully integrated production process – They plant, produce, harvest, process, classify, market and export all of their green beans directly from origin.
The farm has been certified since 2003 by the Rainforest Alliance and they pride-themselves on their unique education project, which aims to give opportunities to young children in the local area.
This delicious coffee represents the impact of the microclimates, volcanic soil, and their meticulous harvesting and milling process resulting in a balanced and full-bodied cup with bright and zesty flavours.
Delivering tasting notes of green tea, white chocolate & strawberry this single origin is perfect for an elegant filter or refined espresso.

When sampling with staff and customers they kept coming back for more, a very easy coffee to drink”.
