Nicaragua Ojo de Agua Single Origin Coffee Beans | Washed Process

The farm is located in Mozonte, Nueva Segovia, which is reaching up to one of the highest points in Nicaragua. This region is well known for its high quality of coffee. Most of the farms are relatively small in size and family owned and operated. The farmers and their families are hard- working and proud of producing coffee of a very high quality.

Katherin and her family are investing a great deal of effort in the farm where they are working on a daily basis, their farm is just shy of 10 acres and the soil is sandy, rich in clay and loam. They are eager to achieve the highest quality of their crops which are Caturra, red and yellow Catuai, Maragogype and Catimor grown under the shade of guava, lemon, orange, avocado and oak trees.

Katherin picks and processes her coffee herself and this lot was dried on raised beds for two weeks.

The long, slow drying at high altitude gives the coffee better longevity and excellent quality in the cup.

Katherin also grows a range of vegetables for the local market.

Cafetos de Segovia is a dry mill located in Ocotal and surrounded by coffee land, making it easy for producers to deliver the wet parchment the same day as they harvest and process it.
