In our ongoing effort to bring our customers women’s coffee projects, Coffee Exchange is reintroducing our Nicaragua Las Diosas. Dedicated to more than just growing coffee, La Central Cooperativa Las Diosas (The Goddesses) is a dynamic network of community based cooperatives run by women and supporting true development and respect for women’s rights. The cooperative is located east of Managua in the department of Estelí where much of the land is devoted to tobacco production and largely controlled by male producers. Las Diosas consists of four smaller cooperatives, each managed by its own Directiva (female Board of Directors). Fiercely independent and determined to succeed in the coffee industry, the 250-member cooperative has made much progress since their founding in 1996, both in terms of sustainable commercial relations for their coffee sales as well as the promotion of issues such as women’s education, housing and health.
American Roast: Our lightest roast, characterized by a dry surface, leading to a light body and a bright, piquant flavor
Full City Roast: A medium/light roast, slightly darker than our American, has a rich, sweet, full-body creating a complex cup
Vienna Roast: A medium/dark roast that brings the ambrosial coffee oils to the surface and brews a savory, pleasantly bittersweet cup
French Roast: A classic dark roast that results in a dark, oily bean with a bold flavor and heady aroma
Espresso Roast: As dark as it gets. Not actually recommended for brewing espresso, this roast is in pursuit of a densely redolent espresso flavor, without the espresso extraction process
