Green Coffee — Cristo Rey, Unroasted

Cristo Rey, green. This is the lot we drink ourselves — Guadalupe Roastery’s signature coffee, named for Christ the King, grown at Guadalupe Gold Farm in the highlands of Nicaragua. Longtime buyers knew it as Nicaragua Matagalpa. Now you can buy it before it reaches our roaster.

Cup profile

• Tasting notes: milk‑chocolate sweetness, a bright touch of lemon, a round and balanced finish. Smooth, never bitter, and easy on the stomach — that last one is what our customers keep telling us.
• Score: SCA 84, specialty grade. Eighty is the line a coffee must cross to be called specialty at all; eighty‑four is a coffee you can pour every single day.
• Process: fully washed, dried on our own patios
• Species: 100% Arabica
• Origin: Guadalupe Gold Farm and neighboring growers, Matagalpa highlands, Nicaragua
• Consistency: built to the same profile year‑round, so the lot you buy next season cups like this one

Roasting it

We take Cristo Rey to a medium roast — that is where the milk chocolate and the lemon sit together and the finish stays round. Pull it lighter and the lemon comes forward with more acidity; carry it to Full City and you trade the lemon for dark cocoa and toasted nut, with the sweetness holding. It is a forgiving washed coffee: it does not go flat if your development runs a little long. Call us and we will share the profile we use in Slinger.
