Think of Puma Punku Especial as an Easter egg - one that’s only available in Huck cafes and our site!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eManuel Rosales is our righthand man in Nicaragua. He runs Puma Coffee, and is responsible for sourcing, drying, and processing all of Huck’s Nicaraguan coffee. He also has a small farm, Finca Puma Punku, and this year we’re featuring his coffee for the first time, as half of Amigos Mozonte.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEarlier this summer, we thought we were set on Huck’s Nicaragua offerings for the year - Amigos Mozonte, a Maracaturra lot from the Montenegro family, and coffees from the larger Puma Coffee network that we’ll feature in Blue Orchid, Sound \u0026amp; Vision, and Civitas.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThen Manuel delivered some great news. He had entered a small lot from Puma Punku into the Nicaraguan Cup of Excellence competition, and he won 3rd place in the washed category!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe love seeing our partners succeed, so we were stoked for Manuel. The guy deserves all the recognition he can get, and we were happy to see Manuel earn a very good price in the auction, courtesy Sarutahiko Coffee in Japan. But as far as Huck was concerned, our plan was to convince Manuel to sell us some of that coffee \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003enext \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eyear.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThen our Nicaraguan coffees showed up in the US, and Manuel told us to keep an eye out for a specially-marked bag amongst our Amigos Mozonte. Turns out Manuel had a little bit of coffee left over from his CoE lot, and had saved it for Huck!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIs this the CoE coffee? Not exactly. Manuel only had ⅔ of a bag left from the competition, so he blended it with a similar coffee from the farm, processed the same way, to make a full 152 pound bag. Honestly, we may have asked him to just keep the coffee separate for us, had we known, but hey, it was a surprise. And even though it might not be the exact CoE winner, it’s too good to not let it shine!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePuma Punku Especial is an especially-tasty version of the profile we love in washed Nicaraguan coffees. Deeply sweet and approachable, but with fig- and plum-like fruit that sets it on its own pedestal. Cheers to Manuel, and we’re excited to share a few roast batches from Puma Punku! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-483c83ad-7fff-fe9c-6fcf-b78267802b73\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNote for orders placed 10\/15 or later: we roasted our final batch of Puma Punku on Thursday, October 15, and have a few bags left heading into the weekend.
