Origins & Farms

Nicaragua

Finca Paraiso, Jinotega Nicaragua

Altitude 1150 – 1500 meters

Soil Volcanic loam

Washed & dried in sun

The coffee is wonderful to work with. Roasted as a medium, the brightness of the beans come out with spice and an apricot finish.  It pairs well with milk and sugar and makes for a great morning or afternoon coffee. Finca Paraiso is a collection of five family owned parcels with 100 acres of organic coffee production. During the harvest, the coffee cherries are carefully harvested, sorted and then depulped, fermented, washed and pre-dried at the farm. The partially dried coffee is taken to a nearby location where drying is completed, and the coffee is stored and later prepared for export. This is a truly integrated model, in which J&M Family Coffee ensures quality control and traceability from farm to export.
