Nicaragua La Bastilla Geisha

Portrait Coffee partnered with La Bastilla Coffee Estates to bring Nicaragua's Jinotega Geisha to your cup. This lot grows between 1300 and 1500 meters above sea level and underwent a natural anaerobic fermentation in temperature controlled tanks. The result is a coffee that emphasizes varietal character while maintaining clarity. The roaster describes the taste as mango and papaya up front, followed by honeyed sweetness and a green tea finish. These notes reflect the Geisha profile and the influence of the controlled fermentation, which amplifies fruit brightness without muddiness. This coffee is a vibrant, balanced expression that shines whether you brew it as a clean filter or a lighter espresso. It reflects Portrait Coffee's sourcing philosophy and roasting style: expressive, intentional, and balanced. It was also included as our contribution to Black Is Beautiful, a yearly collaboration celebrating Black led roasters.
