Floral and delicate.
From several farms in Dipilto and Jalapa, in Nueva Segovia. Peach, red apple and a tea-rose aroma. Soft body and a low, honeyed acidity: it shines brightest as filter.
The story
Dipilto is in Nueva Segovia, in northern Nicaragua. Almost two thirds of its nature reserve, the Cordillera Dipilto y Jalapa, is coffee farms, and inside it stands Mogotón, the country's highest mountain. According to the importer's sheet, Dipilto is the cradle of Nicaraguan specialty coffee, and its river supplies water to about 60,000 people.
This lot comes from several farms of smallholders in Dipilto and Jalapa, between 1,250 and 1,450 metres. The variety is Java, of Ethiopian origin.
It is an anaerobic washed coffee. Ripe cherries are selected, pulped without water, and the beans ferment for 36 to 40 hours in sealed bags, without air. Then they are washed, hand-sorted and dried in the sun on beds for 15 to 18 days. Peach and tea rose are the importer's cupping notes.
We have it for anyone who wants something very different from a café coffee. We roast it in Alcover.

For you if…

- You want something very different from a café coffee.
How to brew it
- Filter (V60, Chemex) Ideal for this coffee
- 15 g of coffee to 250 g of water (60 g per litre), medium-fine grind and water at 90–96 °C. Wet all the coffee first and let it release its gas. Sour or thin: grind finer. Dry or harsh: grind coarser.
Other methods
- Espresso
- Fine grind. Start from your usual recipe and change one thing at a time: if the shot runs too fast, grind finer; if it barely flows, grind coarser.
- Moka pot
- Medium-fine grind, a little coarser than for espresso. Look for a steady flow and take it off the heat when the coffee stops coming through.
- French press
- Medium-coarse to coarse grind. If the cup tastes flat, go one step finer; if it is harsh or silty, go coarser.
Questions
How does the recurring purchase work?
You choose the size, the grind and how often you want it. It arrives automatically, with the plan discount on every delivery, and the subscription renews until you cancel it. No commitment: from your account you can skip a delivery, or pause or cancel it whenever you like. To change the coffee, size, grind or frequency, write to us at hola@ciano.coffee.
Whole bean or ground?
If you have a grinder, whole bean: ground coffee loses its aroma sooner. If not, choose the grind for your coffee maker in the options above.
How should I store it?
In an airtight container, somewhere cool and dry, away from direct light, and better out of the fridge. Ideally, buy the coffee you will drink in 2 to 4 weeks.
What does SCA 82.25 mean?
It is this lot’s score from the importer’s cupping, on the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) scale, out of 100. From 80 points up, a coffee counts as specialty.
