These beans come from five small, mid-elevation family estates in Nueva Segovia and Jinotega. After harvest, the cherries are handpicked, measured, and de-pulped without water. Shortly after, they ferment in tanks for 15 to 36 hours. After fully washing, they’re sent to the Paguaga’s central dry mill, called Santa Lucila, where they’re dried to 11% humidity, sorted by taste profile, and packed.
Our import partners, This Side Up, came up with a custom, small-batch blend that we roast right in the sweet spot: clean, smooth, mellow chocolate. A South American love song, really. Brew as a light stovetop espresso or as a balanced filter. Hermosa.
Fucking Strong Coffee is a specialty coffee brand from the folks behind Good Beans - a beloved bean shop tucked amongst the canals of Amsterdam. We built the brand in 2018 as a response to the monotonous, snobby tone that had infected most of the specialty coffee world. Minimalist cafes, ridiculously technical language, pretentious branding, and moralizing eye rolls… they all snarkily whispered the same thing: specialty coffee is for the few. You want to know what we think…? Fuck that.
In many ways, our beans are fancy as fuck. We traceably source coffee from small, top-notch producers who are paid far above market price for meticulously processing their cherries and sustainably maintaining their land. In Amsterdam, we specialty roast with the type of care that would make any smirking barista smile – bringing out bold, surprising flavors that we’re always jazzed to share with our friends.
Our fresh beans are packed in our signature resealable cans (which you can refill for a discount at our Amsterdam shop if you're in town) or in swanky black kilo bags. We roast weekly and ship within 2-3 business days.
