Our coffee is grown west of the Peñas Blancas mountain mass belonging to the Isabelia mountain range in Nicaragua.

Peñas Blancas has a maximum elevation of 5,724 feet above sea level creating a pleasing ecosystem with a well-defined rainy season between the months of May and December.

     

 

During the harvest months, the stripping of the coffee cherries is accomplished, as we say in Nicaragua, “by finger picking just the red”.  The coffee cherries are then wet processed using plenty of very clean water derived from natural resources of the zone. Once processed, the parchment beans are promptly relocated and left to dry to a 13% humidity level. Once dried, our coffee is hand-chosen, resulting in a much better preparation as well as a higher quality yield with very few defects. The beans are then stored in 100 lb. sacks and allowed to settle and acclimatize.
