"Mount Matsu" Coffee | YĪN YĪN X Fuzz

We are proud to present our 23rd installation of the Fuzz Artist Series; a recurring, collaborative project highlighting exceptional coffees and unique creatives.

For this edition, we’ve partnered with Dutch funk-psych rockers YĪN YĪN to bring you a bold new release. The coffee hails from Jinotega, Nicaragua, boasting vibrant notes of mixed berries, honey, and wine. Funky music calls for funky coffee, and this one hits all the right notes.

Farm Notes:

La Bastilla Coffee Estates, located in the north-east region of Jinotega, NIcaragua, is renowned for its coffee. Surrounded by the natural reserve Cerro Datanli El Diablo, just a few kilometers from Lago de Apanas, Finca La Bastilla is a tropical paradise for the fauna and flora founded on deep, favorable volcanic soils. Since 2003, the farm has been certified by the Rainforest Alliance and is striving for continued excellence. On its two farms, Finca La Bastilla and Finca Santa Luz, the estate employs around 50 permanent and up to 600 temporary employees during the harvest season.

Micro-farms have been created throughout the estate, so that each coffee can express its full potential in accordance with the different microclimates. Each farm is further divided into lots. Lots are differentiated at the micro-farm level, but also by the variety of the coffee and the altitude.

Additionally, La Bastilla owns its own micro-mill. Every coffee is wet-milled and dry-milled with care. Between coffee varieties and its ability to control processing, La Bastilla is capable of producing more than 150 micro-lot coffees, including bespoke offerings upon request.
