nicaragua segovias star is a honey-processed medium roast from the segovias region of nicaragua, sourced from a cup of excellence lot. honey processing leaves some fruit mucilage on the bean during drying, which pulls through sweetness and fruit character in the cup. expect red apple acidity up front, moving into honey, honeycomb, and milk chocolate in the mid-palate, with a finish that shifts toward dark chocolate, cocoa, and almond. the medium roast keeps origin character intact without pushing into heavy body territory. it suits pour-over or aeropress well, where controlled brew times let the layered sweetness come through clearly.
