Origin

Inspired by Granada, Nicaragua

In the dense cloud forest that hangs from Nicaragua’s Mombacho Volcano, coffee plants grow wildly, thriving in the cool mist. Back on the ground in the nearby city of Granada, cafes honor the hallowed crop with an impossibly smooth brew. In my memory, the tempting bouquet of coffee roast is entwined with the equally inviting aroma of zesty mojo-marinated pork sizzling on a streetside charcoal grill. Mombacho Café is a flashback in flavor form: A classic Latin American adobo seasoning—garlic, black pepper and oregano—blended with coffee and citrus peels for complexity that’s robust and slightly bitter. In its presence, dishes destined for caramelization—from roasted carrots to pork loin glazed with a reduction of apple cider and honey—are never the same again.

Tips for Success

Clumping is normal as we don’t use anti caking agents or salt. If clumping occurs simply break apart with your hands before seasoning..
Try not to pour spices out of the jar over a steaming pot or pan as the steam can get in the jar and cause further clumping..
For maximum flavor make sure to use with salt.
Ground spices can burn quickly so make sure to use oil to help distribute the heat more evenly when making a rub..

FAQ

How do you use this blend?

Here are just a few ideas: Pork chops, beans, use as you would adobo seasoning, mix with butter, apple cider vinegar, and honey to make a glaze for pork or chicken, sautéed seafood, Latin American or Caribbean cuisine.

Where does the name come from?

This blend was inspired by Mombacho Volcano in Nicaragua and our inspiring guide Carlos. He was a child during the Nicaraguan Revolution and faced incredible tragedy with his family members being killed and surviving multiple gunshot wounds. Despite these hardships his positivity and appreciation for life were contagious and he was incredibly proud to show us country. We visited the jungle coffee plantations on Mombacho Volcano and ate our way through his favorite street food spots. This blend captures the aromas of the espresso and the citrus garlic marinaded meats grilling on every corner of Granada.
