A second-generation producer, Olman Valladarez is today a recognized figure in the specialty coffee scene in Nicaragua. After taking over the family farm, he structured his project around a progressive improvement in quality and an increased control over the value chain, from production to post-harvest processing.
Located in Dipilto, in the Nueva Segovia region, Finca Buenos Aires lies at the heart of his project. The construction of the Cafetalera Buenos Aires washing and drying station marked a major turning point, allowing Olman Valladarez to process and export his coffees directly, while ensuring precise process management and strong quality consistency.
His work is regularly recognized at the highest level. Olman Valladarez has participated more than 40 times in the Cup of Excellence, earning five first-place awards, and has also stood out in the Nicaraguan competition “The Best of Maragos”, dedicated to varieties such as Maragogype, Maracaturra and Pacamara.
This lot belongs to the “Diamond Coffee” range developed by Olman Valladarez, which brings together his most premium coffees. These lots come from selected plots and benefit from demanding processing protocols, designed to fully express the potential of the terroir.
Maragogype is a rare arabica variety, recognizable for its exceptionally large bean size and appreciated for its aromatic potential when grown and processed with precision.
The Carbonic Maceration process used for this lot illustrates the producer’s innovative approach. This fermentation in a CO₂-saturated environment allows for precise work on aromas, texture and sweetness, in line with the pursuit of precision developed by Olman Valladarez over the years.
Today, his commitment is part of an eco-responsible approach, with particular attention paid to reducing the use of chemical inputs and preserving forests and water resources, with the aim of combining cup excellence with long-term sustainability.
