This naturally processed fruit bomb is grown on Nicaragua's northern mountain range part of the Datanlí, or El Diablo nature reserve. El Diablo was a real stand-out on the cupping table and packs sweet honey notes, mandarin-like acidity, and finishes on juicy smooth and rounded melon notes - perfect for filter brewing methods like the V60 or Chemex.

The Natural Reserve Cerro Datanli - El Diablo is a high massif located between the cities of Matagalpa and Jinotega. It's a magical place, where birds and butterflies dance around the coffee trees that cling to impossibly steep mountainsides in the shade of the lush cloud forest. In total, there are around 10 small and medium scale producers, who grow coffee as well as other crops. They have developed efficient agricultural production systems, well adapted to the agro-ecological conditions. The name of this coffee comes from the mountain range that forms part of the nature reserve Datanlí - El Diablo, in the Isabelia mountain range. Datanlí is an indigenous word that means “where water falls.”

This region is one of the richest and most diverse ecosystems in Jinotega, a place with beautiful and impressive forests, where the water sources originate at the top of the mountains and flow all the way down to the farms of countless coffee growers below. The water that flows from this beautiful reserve, the favourable climatic conditions and much hard hard labour, helps the producers with the production of their specialty coffees.

Experience The Quality.

There are many coffee houses in the world. There aren’t many who roast on-site, grind fresh for each cup and brew with artisan precision. There are even fewer who can tell you the name of the independent farmer who grew the beans, which way the slope faced and how long they ripened for. There is exactly one which guides every one of the 39 steps from bean to cup, where obsession with quality and flavour meet the ethical life in perfect symphony. It’s at 8 D’Arblay Street, Soho. Welcome to 39 Steps.
