nicaragua coffee
by misha’s coffee · washington, usa
you'll taste brown sugar before honey. this is nicaragua jinotega la isabelia honey-processed, a honey nicaragua from misha’s coffee.
the cup leads with brown sugar, honey, and honeycomb sweetness, rounded out by a mild almond nuttiness. the honey process contributes a fuller, sweeter profile compared to a typical washed nicaraguan coffee.
the coffee is grown in the jinotega region of nicaragua and processed using the honey method, meaning some fruit mucilage is left on the bean during drying. this approach sits between washed and natural processing and typically adds sweetness and body to the final cup.
brew methods that highlight sweetness and body, such as pour over or french press, will serve this coffee well. avoid very high extraction or pressure-heavy methods that could overpower its delicate honey and almond character.
order the single-origin pour-over if you want to see what specialty coffee actually means. misha's coffee sits on prince street without making a fuss about it, which is exactly how good roasters should operate. they focus on the beans. the roasting. the brewing. you won't find flashy signage or complicated drink menus here. just coffee done right by people who understand that roasting is science, not theater. alexandria has plenty of places that prioritize atmosphere over extraction. this isn't one of them. the espresso pulls clean and bright. no burnt edges or bitter finish that some places try to mask with milk drinks. and the staff knows their stuff without lecturing you about terroir or processing methods unless you ask. which you should. but really, it's the consistency that sets them apart. tuesday morning tastes like saturday afternoon. that's harder than it sounds. especially when you're doing everything in small batches and actually caring about the result. skip the usual suspects. get the americano.
