NICARAGUA LA BASTILLA NATURAL
PROFILE
Think of La Bastilla as the delectably dissonant member of our coffee collection. What makes La Bastilla truly distinctive is the unique way in which it is processed. After picking, the coffee beans are left to ferment inside the cherry for up to 3 weeks. The beans are veritably saturated with fruit sugars to produce a challenging and exciting cup.
PALLET
This coffee stands out for all the right reasons. Upon the first sip you are hit with juicy tropical fruit, followed by a malty, boozy kick. Intrigued?
PAIR
With Jazz. Or more specifically french toast, fruit loaf, nuts and tropical fruit.
