Nicaragua Washed Java from El Quetzal Coffee
I profiled the Nicaragua Washed Java from El Quetzal Coffee as a medium-light roast, and I could not have been more impressed with the results. The flavor is incredible. As soon as the beans came out of the roaster and I smelled the aroma, I knew this profile was going to work.
I now use this coffee at my café for espresso-based drinks as well as cold brew. It has a wonderful body and a rich, balanced flavor that stands up beautifully in milk-based beverages. In cold brew, the body and natural sweetness really help bring out and complement the flavors of the syrups without allowing them to overpower the coffee.
