CUP PROFILE
Bright yet subtle, this washed Bourbon Tekisic from Finca El Hormiguero is one that slips effortlessly into your day. From the moment it greets you, the aroma of jasmine sets the tone – a soft, floral prelude that beckons you to take that first sip. On the palate, it opens with the clean, sunny brightness of navel orange, a gentle burst of citrus that feels refreshingly balanced. As the cup settles, the floral whispers of jasmine reappear, adding just the right touch of finesse before giving way to a lingering, honeyed sweetness on the finish. Unassuming yet full of quiet complexity, this washed Bourbon Tekisic is the definition of an easy-drinking coffee, perfect for when you’re looking for something to just sit down to and relax.
BACKGROUND
Located in the lush mountains of Dipilto, Nueva Segovia, Finca El Hormiguero is situated between 1300 to 1500 masl and is owned and operated by Ramón Blandino, a coffee producer whose work exemplifies the harmony between tradition, innovation, and sustainability. This washed Bourbon Tekisic is the fruit of years of care and expertise, enhanced by the robust support network provided by Bridazul, a coffee exporter and intermediary based in Nicaragua that has made it their mission to transform the way coffee is grown and traded in the country.
Ramón is part of a growing network of farmers supported by Bridazul, who has made it their mission to empower smallholder producers by providing agronomic support to optimize farm health and yields, access to modernized processing infrastructure for better post-harvest quality control, and equitable compensation practices that prioritizes long-term economic stability in the face of market volatility. At the heart of this operation is Finca El Árbol – Bridazul’s flagship farm – which serves as a research and training center where producers can learn advanced cultivation techniques, improve their processing methods, and attain the tools and resources they need to deal with future environmental and economic challenges.
The success of Finca El Hormiguero and producers like Ramón Blandino is a reflection of Bridazul’s broader mission: to strengthen the livelihoods of farmers, ensure sustainability in the face of climate change, and enhance the legacy of Nicaraguan coffee. Indeed, every sip of this coffee doesn’t just tell the story of Ramón’s attention to detail, it also offers a glimpse into a future where farmers like Ramón, their families, and their communities can thrive, one harvest at a time.
