Gold Mountain Pacamara

Gold Mountain Coffee Growers is a group of coffee farmers from Nicaragua fighting poverty through high-cupping specialty coffee. From their washed to naturals to triple-fermentation carbonic maceration wine yeast naturals, their coffees win awards for roasters every year. This low-yielding, high-cupping coffee collaboration of several producers with pacamara has consistently produces nice apple notes. Pacamara are lower in density while the beans themselves are remarkably larger.

Gold Mountain's ripeness team members sleep on every member farm during picking to ensure quality and traceability. After meticulous picking, we spend inordinate efforts on sorting—before depulping, after fermenting, as coffee dries on 1,700 raised beds, on density sorters, with light sensors, and by hand. Their Q graders cup every component of every coffee we ship to our US and European warehouses (customs-cleared), and every coffee is traceable down to the sugar content of cherries and weather on each farm during days of picking.
