About the "Natural" Process:
At La Bastilla, only the ripest coffee cherries are carefully hand-selected for Natural (dry) processing—a method that demands time, precision, and thoughtful planning. In this process, the whole cherry is dried intact, allowing the fruit to impart bold, fruity flavors to the beans. Throughout drying, the cherries are turned regularly to promote airflow, ensure even drying, and prevent spoilage.
Once fully dried, the beans are removed from the fruit and prepared for export. La Bastilla’s skilled team aims to highlight vibrant berry notes in every batch, using a proprietary technique that remains a closely guarded trade secret of the mill. The result is a distinct and flavorful coffee that captures the essence of natural processing at its finest.
About La Bastilla Coffee Estates
La Bastilla Coffee Estates, located in the north-east region of Jinotega, Nicaragua, is renowned for its coffee. Surrounded by the natural reserve Cerro Datanli El Diablo, just a few kilometers from Lago de Apanas, Finca La Bastilla is a tropical paradise for the fauna and flora founded on deep, favorable volcanic soils. Since 2003, the farm has been certified by the Rainforest Alliance and is striving for continued excellence. On its two farms, Finca La Bastilla and Finca Santa Luz, the estate employs around 50 permanent and up to 600 temporary employees during the harvest season.
Micro-farms have been created throughout the estate, so that each coffee can express its full potential in accordance with the different microclimates. Each farm is further divided into lots. Lots are differentiated at the micro-farm level, but also by the variety of the coffee and the altitude.
Additionally, La Bastilla owns its own micro-mill. Every coffee is wet-milled and dry-milled with care. Between coffee varieties and its ability to control processing, La Bastilla is capable of producing more than 150 micro-lot coffees, including bespoke offerings upon request.
La Basilla Estate prides themselves to be one of the few (if not the only one) specialty coffee estate companies in Nicaragua with a fully integrated supply chain segment at origin, meaning the estate plants, produces, harvests, processes, classify and market/export all of our green coffee beans directly from the farm to their final destination all around the world. Therefore, we guarantee the quality and traceability of our products.
All of our coffee is available in traditional 12 oz bags resealable bags, 3 pound 100% compostable resealable bags and 5lb bags. Select from the options below if you would like whole bean, or pre-ground.
