About this coffee
This new harvest Nicaragua coffee comes from Falcon. We always enjoy good coffees from Nicaragua and are big fans of Martha Sanchez and her crew. Yes, it is a female producer! Parainema is a coffee variety that was developed specially to be more resistant to diseases. This coffee has some fruity notes like sour cherry or strawberry acidity, with some vanilla dark chocolate notes. Enjoy!
Nestled within the pristine Natural Reserve of Serranías Dipilto – Jalapa, three exceptional coffee farms collaborate to produce coffee that embodies the very essence of eco-friendly cultivation. In one of Nicaragua’s most biodiverse regions, coffee isn’t just grown—it’s nurtured, with profound respect for the environment. These farms are committed to preserving the natural habitats of local fauna and ensuring the protection of vital water sources and flora, all while producing coffee that tells a story of tradition, sustainability, and excellence.
Farm El Naranjal, situated in the Loma Fría community within the municipality of Dipilto, spans 4.23 hectares. Owned by Martha Sanchez since 1991, this farm yields 50 quintals of green coffee annually. Martha’s dedication to sustainable practices ensures that every bean from El Naranjal carries the legacy of her commitment to the land and the craft of coffee farming.
The coffees from El Naranjal follows a specific process to ensure quality. Only ripe cherries are harvested, and any green, dry, or overripe berries are removed. The drying process takes place at Cafetos de Segovia’s dry mill, where the coffee is dried on raised beds or patios over 12 days. The coffee spends three days in the sun until it reaches 56% humidity, followed by eight days in the shade to reduce humidity to 42%, and a final day in the sun to reach 12% humidity. Humidity levels are monitored throughout the process to maintain consistency in the final product.
Cafetos de Segovia emphasizes the importance of transparency in their business model, aiming to create direct and fair-trade relationships between Nicaraguan coffee producers and international markets. This transparency is key to their mission of fostering a more equitable coffee supply chain, where producers are fairly compensated for their work and can continue to thrive in the face of global market challenges.
In addition to their focus on quality and sustainability, Cafetos de Segovia is also committed to social responsibility. The company actively invests in the communities where they operate, supporting educational initiatives and infrastructure projects that benefit the local population. By doing so, Cafetos de Segovia not only contributes to the economic development of the region but also helps to build a stronger, more resilient community around their coffee production.
