Finca La Bendición is a masterclass in complexity from Nicaragua. The first few are reminiscent of tropical fruit, like pink pineapple. As this coffee cools, it transitions to wonderful ruby red grapefruit, tart key lime pie, and layered sweetness. A heavy body reminding us of heath bars, with caramel and nougat peaking through as this coffee comes to room temperature.
