Story

Nestled in a foggy rainforest with a rich climate, you'll find some of the most productive haciendas in the country. The region, known as Las Nubes, gets its name from the breathtaking views of clouds drifting around the mountain peaks and over the farms. Las Nubes consists of coffee produced by 20 dedicated farmers located in the Cordillera Isabelia.

The Cordillera Isabelia is situated just 45 km from the department of Jinotega, spanning the area between Jinotega and Matagalpa. This region was among the first to engage in large-scale coffee production, and many of its farmers continue to uphold traditional cultivation techniques.

This is the 4th year we've purchased coffee from Nubes, it's just dope. It was this coffee that began our relationship with Caravela, years later we've purchased many tonnes through them. Caravela is a latin owned company that does a whole load of good work in the countries they export from, with Nubes in particular they've offered skills and opportunities to the community. For instance, a lad who was station manager at Las Nubes 5 years ago is now heading up quality control and sourcing Caravela accross whole of Nicaragua.

Coffee FAQ

Does your coffee come as whole bean or ground?

We only sell whole bean coffee. This is to ensure you make the best cup possible and a big part of that is grinding the coffee just before using it.

If you're in need of a grinder, head to our brewing store.

What's the difference between espresso and filter roast?

We profile most of our coffees for both espresso and filter. In basic terms, espresso coffee is often more developed and slightly darker than a filter roast. This varies with each coffee and in general we roast our coffee to what is considered a light/modern profile. Which one is best for you depends on your intended brewing method.

You can search by brew type on our shop.

Is your coffee roasted to order?

We roast multiple times throughout the week and dispatch online orders twice per week (at minimum). Due to the way we roast coffee, we recommend a minimum rest period of 10 days before brewing.
