    I liked this cafe in Worcester a lot in terms of the overall experience. I don't think I'd necessarily drive out of the way for this coffee, but it's pretty typical fresh-roasted Nicaraguan coffee that I've been seeing pop up increasingly. The store is pleasant and a great place to sit down and do some work.

    It has a huge nutty/earthy hit early in the palate then a clean citrus acidity. The sweetness is definitively caramel. There's a little bit of smoke that some will like but I'm not in love with here (but didn't ding them score wise for that). A big bright note of acidity mid or late palate here would be a huge difference maker for this one, IMHO.

    Cupping Method:Iced at the Cafe Brilla store in Holden, MA. Barista told me it was the Cafe Diego.

Roast Level: Medium
Medium roast coffee balances the beans' natural flavors and the roasting process, providing a well-rounded taste profile. When selecting a medium roast, look for a balance of acidity and sweetness, with caramel, nuts, and chocolate notes and a medium body.
Bean Source Country: Nicaragua
Nicaraguan coffee is celebrated for its well-balanced and approachable taste. Grown primarily in the fertile volcanic highlands, the coffee beans benefit from a unique combination of nutrient-rich soils, high altitude, and mild climate, which imparts a smooth, medium body and gentle acidity to the brew. Nicaraguan coffee is known for its delightful flavor notes, which include milk chocolate, caramel, and toasted nuts, accented by a subtle touch of stone fruits and citrus.
