Nicaragua Finca Lo Prometido

Finca Lo Prometido is located in the Dipilto-Jalapa mountain range in the North of the department of Nueva Segovia and sits at a range of elevations, from 1,450 m.a.s.l. at the "low" end, with lots as high as 1,650 m.a.s.l. at the top. In total, the farm is approximately 13 hectares, with 9 currently in production and 3 soon to be producing. The farm is situated in the municipality of Mozonte (in the community of La Soledad) and currently has the following varieties: Red Catuai, SL-28, Bourbon, Java, Pacamara and Maracaturra. The care and processing that goes into every lot that is processed in this farm is second to none, with careful detail at every stage, starting with optimal cherry picking at the farm level. Washed coffees are dried for between 15-20 days, honeys 20-25 days and naturals, between 30-35 days! The owner, Luis Alberto Balladarez is no stranger to quality, having won or placed in the COE, over the course of many years. This is our 2nd year working with Luis Alberto and our first year purchasing a lot from this particular farm.
