FrontStreet Coffee - Nicaragua Dipilto Washed

Dipilto City

Dipilto is one of the smallest municipalities in Nicaragua, covering an area of 106 square kilometers. 90% of its 5,000 inhabitants live in rural areas. Dipilto is renowned for its pine forests, warm climate, religious devotion, loyal people, and high-quality coffee.

Coffee cultivation is an important tradition kept by Dipilto's residents. The fertile, organic-matter-rich soil and elevations above 1,200 meters provide suitable climate conditions for coffee. Dipilto's traditional Arabica varieties are well suited to the average temperature of 20°C and to the annual rainfall, with Caturra and Bourbon as the main varieties. Under shade, the coffee trees coexist harmoniously with nature, while dedicated plantation management provides ideal conditions for premium coffee.

FrontStreet Coffee Recommendation

Washed coffees like Dipilto showcase how a clean process protects a coffee's intrinsic aroma. FrontStreet Coffee's Yirgacheffe Guddina Cooperative is a fine washed example from Guddina village, where smallholders bring their cherries to a shared processing team with deep experience. The washed method draws out jasmine florals and bright citrus acidity, and a light-to-medium roast adds green-tea and honey notes; it works as pour-over, cold brew, or espresso.

For a fruit-forward washed cup, FrontStreet Coffee Kenya Cherry Tomato comes from Kenya's Sika region at 1,550-1,750 meters, grown from SL28 and SL34 and processed with the region's K72 double-wash fermentation. That repeated washing and soaking yields a full juice quality with cherry tomato, sour plum, snow pear, and black plum, bright, solid acidity, a pronounced mid-palate sweetness, brown-sugar sweetness, and a clean, lingering finish. If you prefer the nutty, caramel, chocolate direction of this Dipilto washed lot, FrontStreet Coffee Jamaica Blue Mountain No. 1 is a balanced, low-acid washed option that pours with hazelnut, cream, chocolate, and caramel.
