nicaragua coffee · cup of excellence
by cuppajoe coffee roasters · burnaby, canada
you'll taste red apple before honey. this is nicaragua segovias star, a honey nicaragua from cuppajoe coffee roasters.
it leads with red apple and honey, supported by honeycomb and milk chocolate, and finishes with darker notes of dark chocolate, cocoa, and almond. the honey process gives it a natural sweetness that ties those flavors together.
it comes from the segovias region of nicaragua and is processed using the honey method, where some fruit mucilage is left on the bean during drying. this lot received a cup of excellence designation, indicating it scored among the top lots evaluated in its harvest year.
as a medium roast with layered sweetness and fruit character, it responds well to pour-over or aeropress, where you can dial in water temperature around 93-95°c and a moderate grind to avoid muting the apple and chocolate notes. filter brewing keeps the cup clean enough to distinguish the different flavor layers.
tucked into a quiet stretch of rosser avenue, cuppajoe coffee roasters proves that burnaby knows good coffee. this isn't your corner chain with burnt beans and predictable pours. here, someone actually cares about what's in your cup. the 4.4-star rating from 373 google reviews tells part of the story, but numbers can't capture the satisfaction of that first sip when the roast hits exactly right. regulars know this feeling. they come back because consistency matters, because the beans are treated with respect, because independent roasters understand something chains never will: coffee isn't just caffeine delivery. walk in and you'll smell the difference immediately. fresh-roasted beans have their own language, and cuppajoe speaks it fluently. no corporate formulas here, just the kind of attention to detail that makes people choose the long route to work just to stop by. burnaby's coffee scene is better for places like this.
