As a child in NICARAGUA, Martin Mayorga spent time at cigar factories with his father interacting with Cuban cigar makers who had fled Castro's government. He recalled the men playing dominos, talking about their plight upon leaving their home country, and drinking a distinctly DARK, SYRUPY COFFEE. Later on when the MAYORGA family moved to the U.S., Martin was able to appreciate first hand this RICH COFFEE while spending time with Cuban immigrants in MIAMI. Using our SIGNATURE LATIN, SLOW-ROASTING process we are able to achieve a cuban-style profile by roasting coffees from Peru, Honduras and/or Nicaragua, giving it a distinctly BOLD, SWEET flavor that has a surprisingly SMOOTH finish, making this cuban-style roast a MAYORGA favorite.
