Located in the department of Madriz, the Cinco de Junio cooperative is our oldest partner in Nicaragua, a relationship that began in 2009. Over the years, the cooperative has weathered challenges–shifting economic and political conditions and the growing impacts of climate change. These pressures have forced the cooperative and its members to adjust their production practices, persevering to make the best coffee possible. This season’s lot delivers classic flavors of apple, dark chocolate, and sweet almond.

Ava ★★★★★

I’ve been buying from this cooperative since I first tasted it years ago, and even after all this time, the beans arrive consistently fresh and aromatic. It’s my go-to for slow weekend mornings, and knowing the partnership dates back to 2009 makes each cup feel a little more meaningful.

Abigail S. ★★★★☆

The fact that this coffee comes from a cooperative we've worked with since 2009 gives it a story I appreciate with every cup. Brewed it as a pour-over and the flavor held up nicely without turning bitter at the end. Just wish the bag came with a bit more detail on the roast date.

James X. ★★★★☆

Loved the deep, rich brew, and knowing it’s from their oldest partner in Nicaragua since 2009 makes the cup feel special. Only wish the bag had a resealable top, since I’ve had to clip it shut to keep the beans fresh.
