What we love

The coffee that launched a company!
This was the first purchase for Peaceful Valley Coffee Company and a fresh 2025 harvest has returned to the menu. Much like Peaceful Valley, Spokane, this coffee is a true gem in plain sight.
Located in an idyllic setting, La Bastilla is an exceptional coffee estate with its own drying mill, meaning they have robust quality control over their coffees. And do they produce fantastic coffees! This Nicaragua La Bastilla is exceptional and an outlier, in terms of typical Nicaraguan coffee quality.. Drinking it daily feels like a privelege.

Due to innovative cultivation (see H3 variety), the coffee sparkles with an unexpectedly gem-like quality. Light roasts have a singing citrus, round like a pluot, and simmering over a sweet almond and macadamia nuttiness. Darker roasts transform that sparkle into a milk chocolate, toffee, macadamia decadence.
This La Bastilla Estate offering is immaculate!
