About This Coffee
The Region
Finca Samaria is situated in the Dipilto, Nueva Segovia Region of Nicaragua, close to the Honduras border. The farm is nestled within lush forested hills, making this prime specialty coffee country. Nicaragua has a long history with coffee but over the past few years has become increasingly well known for top specialty coffee due to the influence of producers like Julio and Octavio.
Nueva Segovia boasts some of the highest growing altitudes in Nicaragua. The terrain is as beautiful as it is challenging to traverse, characterised by rolling hills and dense forest, often engulfed by thick clouds.
The Process
This lot is honey processed. First, ripe cherries are hand harvested, sorted and washed. The coffee is then pulped, then laid out to dry on multi-layered raised beds where it is turned at 9am, 12 mid day and 2pm over the course of 18 - 20 days. Throughout, it is covered at night to protect from moisture. The coffee is processed at the San Ignacio Mill in Mozonte, near Ocatal in Nueva Segovia. The mill manager Mayerling Escoto has specific responsibility for all the processing at this microlot-only mill.
