The coffee beans inside each bag of Trader Joe’s Nicaragua La Bastilla Estate Small Lot Coffee have been dubbed “blueberry candy” by farmers for their unique sweetness and subtle blueberry aroma. These 100% Arabica beans (of the Red Catuai variety) are grown on the La Bastilla Estate, which sits 4,300 feet above sea level in Nicaragua’s mountainous Jinotega region. The Estate’s high altitude and rich, volcanic soils produce coffee with distinctive character and complexity. The beans are carefully hand-picked at peak ripeness, sun- dried on raised beds, then treated to a medium roast—ultimately producing a cup of coffee with layered notes of cocoa, pineapple, cherry, and, of course, blueberry. Brew a cup or a pot with your French press or automatic coffee maker and sip alongside some sweet breakfast treats, like a Blueberry Muffin, a Cheese Pastry Roll, fresh from the oven, or a toasted Whole Wheat English Muffin. We’re selling each 12-ounce bag of whole-bean Nicaragua La Bastilla Estate Small Lot Coffee for a limited time. You’ll find it in our coffee and tea section.
