Do you know where the name Toston comes from?

This coffee takes its name from a typical Nicaraguan dish made from plantains

Tostón is a blend created from farms in the Dipilto region, in Nicaragua. It's a fully-washed coffee produced using a mix of 70% Caturra and 30% from other varities as Maracaturra, Maragogype, Marsellesa and Catuaí. The coffee is named after a typical Nicaraguan dish made using plantain bananas called Tostón, which is a substantial, well-balanced dish, just like this coffee, which would make an excellent base for a blend.

Tostón coffee is created with the aim of offering a nice solid and homogeneous cup. The Dipilto region’s high altitude also gives the coffee an intricate and tangy character. It is a round and very well-balanced coffee. Full-bodied and chocolatey as an espresso, evoking caramel and chocolate as a filter coffee.

In order to develop different processes on the same farm, we offer this coffee in 3 processes: fully washed, red honey and natural. It is ideal to democratize the different processes with the same coffee.
