About the Producer

Maria grew up in the capital city of Tegucigalpa and knew nothing of coffee. She married into the coffee industry, meeting Juan Adolfo Bautista at University.  Both moved to the coffee mountains together after they were married and graduated school.  They soon had kids, and being a mom was her focus.

Juan inherited 1 hectare from his father.  The property evolved over many years; the 1 hectare turning into 48.8 hectares.  Once the kids grew up and left for University, Maria started to get more involved in the farms and then attended a meeting of other women producers hosted by the COMSA cooperative, which motivated her. She decided she wanted to have her own farm so she Formed Finca Mini Granja Dilma in 2016

At that time, less than half a hectare of land was cultivated with coffee. Recognizing the excellence of the Opatoro region for coffee, he gradually bought more land, now owning a little over 31 hectares of land divided between Las Antenas Farm and Las Tres Piedras Farm.

nicaragua nueva segovia

BDCS CUPPING: 87

FLAVOR NOTES: Orange Slices, Molasses, Macadamia Nut, Smooth Finish

REGION: Nueva Segovia

PRODUCER: Silvio Sanchez

FARM: Santa Teresa de Mogoton

NOTES: Producer Silvio Sanchez came to coffee farming through studying agronomy. His mother loved coffee and so the two of them saved their money, took out a loan, and purchased a piece of land well-suited to growing coffee in the La Union, San Fernando region of the Nueva Segovia department.

Santa Teresa de Mogoton is a relatively remote farm, accessible by single road that leads to a handful of farms. The farm is beyond the reaches of cell phone service and the deep trenches along the sides of the road from heavy rainfall challenge even well-equipped 4×4 trucks.

Dense pine forests and interplanted pine trees provide shade for coffee, casting dark shadows of the deep green leaves of the coffee trees, giving Santa Teresa de Mogoton a quiet, spectral atmosphere. The farm is expertly organized, a testament to Silvio’s training as an agronomist, and the neat rows of young trees have given several successful harvests. The farm is 10 hectares and cultivates Catimor and Java varieties in addition to the Catuai selected for this lot.

 

peru-cusco organic

BDCS CUPPING: 85

FLAVOR NOTES: Citrus, Red Grape Tannins, Chocolate

ORIGIN: Peru Organic

REGION: Cusco

PRODUCER: Efrain Nina and Natividad Suarez

FARM: Inciensuyoc and Jornadapata

NOTES: Efrain Nina and Natividad Suarez team up to bring us Nina and Natividad, representing their unique community, Urpipata (Quechua for “Pigeon Path”). Located in the Santa Teres district of La Convencion province in the Southern Peru region of Cusco, Uripipata is made up of around 300 families, all of whom grow coffee as their primary living. Because Santa Teresa is very close to Machu Picchu, this area also hosts large amounts of tourists who provide supplemental income in the off-season. Urpipata, like the rest of Santa Teresa, is remote with lush, semitropical vegetation and periods of heavy rain, especially in the months of January through May, often leading to landslides that close the main roads.
