Nicaragua SHG Light-Medium Coffee, 12 oz: profile and selection
The lighter version of Hemisphere Nicaragua SHG puts citrus and acidity at the center of the cup. Hemisphere names the Chavarria farm as its direct source for this coffee. The 12 oz package makes it a manageable way to compare that bright profile with the roaster’s medium-dark Nicaragua offering.
Cultivar, elevation, process and harvest year are not specified.
This page preserves the documented roast, origin, process and tasting language without treating a regional name, grade or flavor note as evidence for missing facts. Current selections are 12 oz; ground or whole bean; confirm the exact variant before ordering.

Brew for the documented roast and profile
Begin with 21 g of coffee to 340 g of water in your normal filter brewer. Taste a few sips warm and a few after cooling; a citrus impression may become easier to recognize as the temperature falls. Note the finish as well as the first bright sensation.
If trying the darker Nicaragua alongside it, keep the dose and water quantity consistent for the first comparison. Adjust grind individually afterward, since the same grinder setting may not extract both roasts equally well. This approach helps you choose a roast on flavor before changing concentration to suit a larger mug or adding milk.
For pour-over, start with 20 grams of coffee and 320 grams of filtered water around 200–203°F. Use a medium grind, wet the bed evenly and keep the pouring pattern consistent. Taste the hot cup and again as it cools.
If the coffee is sharply sour and thin, grind finer or add modest agitation. If the finish is dry, move coarser. Track drawdown as diagnostic information, but do not force every dripper to one universal time.
Light and light-medium roasts can require more extraction than a dark roast because roast development changes solubility. Whole-bean customers can use the Turin DF54 grinder for measured adjustments; prepared ground coffee requires a compatible brewer.
Freshness, package size and comparison
The listed package is 12 oz; ground or whole bean. This smaller format supports several controlled recipe tests without committing to a bulk bag. Use a scale for dose and water so the successful recipe can be repeated.
Seal the package after each use and store it away from heat, moisture, sunlight and strong aromas. Grind only the portion needed for the next brew when whole bean is selected. Ground coffee should be resealed promptly because it has more exposed surface area.
Degassing can change bloom and flow during the life of the bag. Use the roast date when supplied and make one small adjustment at a time. Record the grinder setting or the water change that produced the better cup.

Ordering and shipping
Coffee ships directly from the roaster partner. Roasted coffee does not qualify for free shipping; shipping charges are set by the partner. Coffee orders are not eligible for returns or cancellations, so confirm the bag size, grind, caffeine selection and flavor when applicable before ordering.
Review the exact variant shown in the cart before checkout. When the shipment arrives, retain the roaster label and record the selected format with the first brew. That detail makes recipe adjustments and reordering more reliable than relying on the product name alone.
