Nicaragua

Nicaragua Region – Nueva Segovia Altitude – 1,250 meters Varietal – Red Catuai & Caturra Type – Natural Known as the land of lakes and volcanoes within Central America, Nicaragua is a pocket for high quality coffee thanks to its rich soils and various microclimates. Coffee arrived in the 1800s with Spanish colonialists, first planted on the mesas of the Pacific plains. Today, coffee has spread to three main production areas: Las Segovias, Matagalpa, and Jinotega; characterized by fertile, volcanic soils and lush vegetation. In the northern reaches of the country is the region of Nueva Segovia, bordering Honduras with high mountains ideal for coffee production. It is here, in the town of Los Arados in the El Pinabete sector within the Mozonte region where Bismark Gomez manages his farm, SanJose. The farm was purchased seven years ago and was named after an important saint the family is devoted to.
