Short Description:

A treasure of Nicaragua. It was a case of Love at First Cup! Cheesiness aside, this one was a head turner - so different than other classic Nicaraguans we have cupped in the past. Insanely delicious citrus fruit, ripe pear, honey sweetness with an intoxicating floral aroma. To add to its character, there is a nice chocolate to the finish that lingers just enough to make you way "Wow!"
