Copper Horse — Nicaragua El Mirador

Featured the week of March 2, 2026 — rated 9.7/10 by our tasting team.

What’s up, coffee family! We are beyond stoked to get this week’s selection into your hands. Coming to us from the lush Jinotega region of Nicaragua, Finca El Mirador is a masterclass in what happens when a unique microclimate meets absolute resilience. Producers Jose Francisco and Emma have cultivated something truly magical here. Because of the heavy cloud cover and cooler-than-average temps at 1400 MASL, these cherries undergo a prolonged maturation cycle, allowing the seeds to gorge on nutrients and develop incredible density. This lot features a blend of Caturra and Pacamara—and for the gearheads out there, you know that Pacamara influence usually brings a savory-sweet complexity and a distinctively elegant structure that really shines in a fully washed process.
