This microlot comes from GMCG Member Farmers in the renowned regions of Matagalpa and Jinotega, Nicaragua, grown at elevations between 1,200 and 1,269 meters above sea level. Cultivated by dedicated producers working with varieties such as Caturra Estrella, Catuai and Pacas, this Elixir lot represents an expressive and experimental profile shaped by careful selection and innovative processing.
Processed using a Carbonic Maceration Natural method with a fermentation period ranging from 4 to 8 days, this coffee develops a silky texture and a complex aromatic structure. The controlled fermentation enhances its candy-like character while preserving clarity and balance, resulting in a vibrant and elegant cup.
In the cup, Nicaragua Elixir stands out for its floral aromatics and juicy fruit character. Notes of black cherry, candied apple and rose evolve into a smooth, wine-like finish with honeyed sweetness and a delicate silky body. A versatile coffee that performs beautifully both in filter brewing and espresso, ideal for those seeking refined, fruit-forward profiles with depth and personality.

Lorenzo Ramon’s parents tought him to work from a young age and never gave him the opportunity to study. But he is very entrepreneurial. Since coffee grows well in his region, Lorenzo decided it was a good bet to be able to earn a living. To ensure income, he runs a “bus” route through a difficult mountain range with a truck he bought. Lorenzo lives with his two adult children; Bielka Liseth (37) and Jose Angel (25). Another son, Lorenzo Antonio, and Lorenzo Antonio’s wife Maricela, together with Lorenzo Ramon, produce this lot called “Dos Lorenzos.”
