El Pastoral, Nicaragua

el pastoral is a natural-process coffee from jinotega, nicaragua, roasted by welwyn coffee lab. jinotega is one of nicaragua's main coffee-growing regions, and the natural process, where the coffee dries inside the whole fruit, tends to produce fuller body and fruit-forward sweetness. in the cup, el pastoral lands on milk chocolate and dark chocolate, making it an approachable but substantive option. it suits brew methods that let body come through, such as french press or espresso, though a slower pour-over will keep the chocolate notes clean and defined.
