Nicaragua The Albir Sisters (Natural)

TASTES LIKE: White Peach - Blackberry - Hazelnut

Recommended for: Espresso or Filter

Sisters Martha and Ana Albir are third generation coffee producers and are doing incredible things in Nueva Segovia. Their family farm and coffee mill are not only dedicated to producing innovative and delicious specialty grade coffee, but their contributions to their own community are equally as thoughtful. Through their mill, they are able to provide milling and exporting services not just to their own family, but 11 other local farmers. Employment is entirely local. They have invested in local education and preschool programs within their community. And they have led the way in Nicaragua with an ecoforestry coffee model which preserves native flora and fauna, protects water sources and biodiversity.

In short, these women represent everything we love here at Vice. Quality coffee by quality humans.

In this cup, you will notice creamy notes of hazelnut praline and juicy Ribena blackcurrant. More than that, we hope you will also taste the labour of love that has gone into every stage of its journey to you. We hope we did Martha and Ana justice.
