That is part of coffee, and it is also why coffees like this matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLas Segovias is a classic washed Nicaraguan coffee built around the idea of supporting producers across a broader range of quality, not only at the very top end of the micro-lot table. This SHG Special blend is composed of coffees from Luis Alberto’s farms, along with contributions from five other producers across Dipilto, Jinotega, and Matagalpa. Their farms sit between 1,000 and 1,500 meters above sea level, in some of Nicaragua’s most established coffee-growing regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe producers deliver wet parchment to Beneficio Las Segovias, where the coffee is dried slowly on patios for 15 to 21 days. That is significantly longer than the average patio-dried coffee in Nicaragua, which can often dry in just 5 to 7 days. The result is a coffee with clarity, stability, and a gentle sweetness that feels both familiar and carefully handled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the cup, Las Segovias is caramel-forward and nutty, with a brown sugar sweetness and the clean structure of a classic washed Central American coffee. It is approachable, balanced, and easy to return to, but what makes it especially exciting is its freshness. This is one of the earliest Central American arrivals you are likely to find: a classic profile, but fresh from harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur sourcing partner, The Coffee Quest, has been working in Nicaragua for approximately eight years. About six years ago, they met Luis Alberto, a producer whose attention to detail immediately set him apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNicaragua often feels like the land of big beans, with Pacamara, Maragogype, and Maracaturra planted here in remarkable volume. These varieties can produce beautiful coffees, and many producers are drawn to their quality, productivity, and price potential. But when Coffee Quest first began sourcing in Nicaragua, many of the coffees they cupped were good without fully expressing what they could become.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat changed at Beneficio Las Segovias.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore cupping his coffees, Luis Alberto asked a question that revealed exactly how he thinks: “Aren’t you concerned about the water your clients are using?”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe then set up five coffees, each brewed two ways: one cup with soft water and one with very hard water. The point was not just to taste coffee, but to understand how much water composition can affect flavor. Before the coffees were even evaluated, it was clear that Luis Alberto was thinking beyond production alone. He was thinking about the entire chain of quality, all the way to the final cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat kind of care is what anchors this coffee. Las Segovias is not a flashy micro-lot, and it is not trying to be. It is something equally important: a sweet, clean, fresh-harvest Nicaraguan coffee that represents strong producer relationships, careful processing, and the everyday beauty of a classic washed profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Color Coffee Roasters | Premium Roasters in Colorado","offers":[{"title":"10 OZ. \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":49447373734026,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 OZ. \/ Home Espresso","offer_id":49447373766794,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 OZ. \/ Stove Top","offer_id":49447373799562,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 OZ. \/ Aeropress","offer_id":49447373832330,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 OZ. \/ Fine Drip","offer_id":49447373865098,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 OZ. \/ French Press","offer_id":49447373897866,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 OZ. \/ Coarse Drip","offer_id":49447373930634,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 OZ. \/ Cold Brew","offer_id":49447373963402,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 LBS. \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":49447373996170,"sku":null,"price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 LBS. \/ Home Espresso","offer_id":49447374028938,"sku":null,"price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 LBS. \/ Stove Top","offer_id":49447374061706,"sku":null,"price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 LBS. \/ Aeropress","offer_id":49447374094474,"sku":null,"price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 LBS. \/ Fine Drip","offer_id":49447374127242,"sku":null,"price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 LBS. \/ French Press","offer_id":49447374160010,"sku":null,"price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 LBS. \/ Coarse Drip","offer_id":49447374192778,"sku":null,"price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 LBS. \/ Cold Brew","offer_id":49447374225546,"sku":null,"price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 LBS. \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":49447374258314,"sku":null,"price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 LBS. \/ Home Espresso","offer_id":49447374291082,"sku":null,"price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 LBS. \/ Stove Top","offer_id":49447374323850,"sku":null,"price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 LBS. \/ Aeropress","offer_id":49447374356618,"sku":null,"price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 LBS. \/ Fine Drip","offer_id":49447374389386,"sku":null,"price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 LBS. \/ French Press","offer_id":49447374422154,"sku":null,"price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 LBS. \/ Coarse Drip","offer_id":49447374454922,"sku":null,"price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 LBS. \/ Cold Brew","offer_id":49447374487690,"sku":null,"price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1008\/8024\/files\/LasSegovias.png?v=1779307126","url":"https:\/\/colorroasters.com\/products\/nicaragua-las-segovias-washed-community-blend","provider":"Color Coffee | Restoring Clarity to Coffee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
