ABOUT
Micro Economics is more than just a coffee; it’s a story of resilience, quality, and social impact, created by the dedicated team at Gold Mountain Coffee Growers in Jinotega, Nicaragua. Gold Mountain is not only a collective of coffee farmers but a powerful movement to combat poverty and promote environmental stewardship. Every bag of Micro Economics represents the culmination of their commitment to producing high-cupping specialty coffee while investing directly in the livelihoods of economically challenged farmers and safeguarding the environment.
Gold Mountain Coffee Growers’ model is unique in its hands-on approach to quality and traceability. Their ripeness team lives on member farms during the critical picking season, ensuring that every bean is meticulously selected at peak ripeness. After harvest, the beans go through an intensive sorting process—before and after depulping, during fermentation, and as they dry on 1,700 raised beds. The team utilizes advanced density sorters, light sensors, and even hand-sorting techniques to achieve a level of precision rare in the coffee world. Gold Mountain’s Q graders cup each coffee component multiple times, and the data for every batch is recorded down to the sugar content of cherries and the weather on harvest days. This dedication to traceability guarantees an exceptional level of quality control and ensures that every cup tells the story of its origin.
As a cooperative of farmers and exporters, Gold Mountain Coffee Growers eliminates the need for middlemen by handling their own exporting, importing, and customs clearing into the U.S. and Europe. This direct approach empowers local farmers, enabling them to thrive financially and invest more in their farms and communities. Gold Mountain goes beyond industry standards, including EU anti-deforestation requirements, to actively protect the land they depend on—even purchasing a rainforest to preserve it.
In choosing Micro Economics, you are supporting not only a rich and flavorful cup but a network of farmers dedicated to environmental and social responsibility. Gold Mountain’s innovative approach to specialty coffee combines next-level traceability with a deep commitment to quality. They produce coffees with award-winning profiles, from ripeness-monitored washed beans to complex triple-fermentation carbonic maceration processes that introduce unique flavor notes. Every note of apple, pecan, and cacao in Micro Economics is a testament to the care and precision Gold Mountain Coffee Growers pour into every batch.
Micro Economics embodies Gold Mountain Coffee Growers' mission: to create a sustainable future for coffee farming, protect precious ecosystems, and offer coffee enthusiasts an ethical, high-quality coffee they can feel proud to drink. Enjoy each sip of Micro Economics knowing that you’re not only tasting a carefully crafted blend but also contributing to a brighter future for coffee communities in Nicaragua.
