Ripe berries, tart citrus, and creamy nuttiness create the absolutely exceptional profile of the Silvio Sanchez. The first sip saturates your palate with the syrupy sweetness of Blackberry Jam, before layering in the complex brightness of Blood Orange. As these juicy fruit flavors cool, the body of the coffee becomes buttery and smooth, layering in the rich chocolate-hazelnut taste of Nutella.

This coffee comes to us from Silvio Sanchez, owner of the Santa Teresa de Mogoton farm in Nueva Segovia, Nicaragua. Silvio Sanchez came to coffee farming through studying agronomy. Inspired by his mother's love of coffee, the two saved their money, took out a loan, and purchased the piece of land that would soon become Santa Teresa de Mogoton. Dense pine forests and interplanted pine trees for shading the coffee create a quiet, almost fantastical atmosphere, but don’t let it fool you - the farm is expertly organized, and the neat rows of young trees have already given several successful harvests, a testament to Silvio’s training as an agronomist.
