PURE – coffees offer a soothing and delicate experience; a cup of coffee you really want snuggle in with. The goal with PURE is to let the flavours of the beans shine through, so in these roasts, you’ll primarily taste the characteristics of bean variety and terroir. PURE coffees will usually be washed processed, with the occasional honey when it fits the profile.

About Marilec Sevilla
Marilec Sevilla's journey in coffee is rooted in both family tradition and years of dedication to improving the lives of coffee producers. Growing up in Nicaragua, her family originally farmed grains, but her early exposure to coffee mills with her mother sparked a curiosity that quickly grew into a lifelong passion. At just eight years old, she began learning the rhythms of the coffee world, and by high school, she was sorting coffee to help cover expenses. Her professional path began in 2000 when she and her father joined PRODECOOP, a cooperative that would shape her future. Over the next two decades, she gained deep expertise in quality control and certifications, working with respected organizations like VOLCAFIC in Nicaragua, COMPRAS S.A. in Mexico, and Peraltacoffees S.A. back in Nicaragua. In 2019, Marilec founded Marilec Coffee, driven by her mission to source high-quality coffee from small producers across Nicaragua while building ethical, long-term partnerships. Today, Marilec and her husband Alex, also a trained cupper, produce coffee themselves in Los Planes, Dipilto, and run a cupping lab and office to stay connected with clients and producers alike.
