nicaragua coffee
by the coffee officina · harlow, uk
you'll taste red apple before honey. this is jinotega community nicaragua, a honey nicaragua from the coffee officina.
it tastes of red apple, honey, and honeycomb, a sweet, fruit-forward profile with a soft, rounded quality that comes in part from the honey process.
it's grown in the jinotega region of nicaragua and processed using the honey method, meaning the beans are dried with some of the fruit mucilage still attached, adding sweetness and body to the finished cup.
filter methods such as pour over or drip brewing work well here, as they allow the red apple and honey notes to express clearly, keep the cup clean, and highlight the natural sweetness the honey process contributes.
harlow's coffee scene has been quietly expanding beyond the town centre, and the coffee officina sits at an interesting edge of that shift. out on harlow road near matching tye, this is a roastery with real intent, not a satellite of somewhere bigger. you're making a deliberate trip when you come here, which tends to filter the experience in a good way: the people who find it usually want to be there. operating from housham hall farm gives the whole thing a certain remove from the usual high street rhythm, and that distance seems to suit the work. roasting on-site means the coffee moving through this space hasn't travelled far at all before it reaches your cup. mid-morning, when the light hits the harlow road stretch and the roastery is in full operation, is probably the time to go.
