Description: This lot comes to us from a group of small holder producers in the region of La Esmeralda, Matagalpa. They were trained on proper picking processes at their respective farms to only deliver the best ripe cherries. This community is in Jinotega, Nicaragua at 1,250m or higher above sea level. The group has extremely high standards for cherry ripeness and quality, and purchases coffee directly from the producer at a high price. Once cherries are delivered, it is washed and then slowly dried in a temperature and humidity controlled drying facility for 28 days. The farmers in this community have an average productivity of 22+ bags per hectare, growing caturra, sarchimor, and catuai varieties. This is nearly twice the national average and further helps secure the financial well being of our producer partners. The 150+ producers in the program are 95% small holders, with less than 5 hectares of land. We provide technical and financial assistance to help the farmers achieve goals in soil and forest preservation, water protection, and water treatment systems.
