ABOUT

This coffee is produced in the heart of the Dipilto mountains, near the border with Honduras. It is cultivated on sandy soil at an altitude of between 1,200 and 1,700 metres. Most coffee bushes are grown under shade (70% with various species), and the soil and plants are fertilised using environmentally-friendly techniques.

This is a fully-washed coffee. Thecherries are harvested at the highest part of the farm and wet processed. They use a relatively conventional process, as the cherries are de-pulped, fermented, washed then dried on a patio.

We have been very impressed with the quality of these coffees and hope to establish a long-term working relationship with these producers.

BUENOS AIRES

Cafetalera Buenos Aires is a 215 hectares family business founded over 55 years ago by Luis Emilio Valladarez, known as Olman. The company is located in the municipality of Buenos Aires, in the Dipilto Mountains, in a speciality coffee production area, close to the border with Honduras. The farm has a microclimate that favours the production of speciality coffees. Its main objective is to carry out in-depth work on quality in order to develop a relationship of trust with its customers. The coffee trees are planted on sandy soils between 1200 and 1700 metres above sea level and grow in shade (70% for different varieties), with environmentally friendly fertilisation of the soil and plants. The Maracaturra variety was introduced to the farm in Buenos Aires for several reasons: the beauty of the cherry, the altitude of the farm and the quality of the cup. The family has its own dry mill and wet mill to develop its own processes, avoid contamination and reduce water consumption. Having their own dry mill allows the family to carry out their own quality control and guarantees the traceability of each of their coffees.

The history of the producer

The story
of the producer

Luis Emilio Valladarez has been working in the coffee industry for 60 years. He started out by buying a small farm called Buenos Aires, followed by two other farms named : La Laguna and El Suyatal. At the time he sold all his production as cherries. A few years ago, the producer decided to build his own mill, Cafetalera Buenos Aires, in order to more effectively control coffee production and export.

Today he works with his son Olman at two plantations: Buenos Aires Estate and La Laguna. This family set-up began in 2004, when Olman started to help his father and brother manage and run the family’s farms. Since 2005, these enthusiastic producers have been working hard to make a name for themselves in the world of specialty coffee. They have even participated on several occasions in Nicaragua’s Cup of Excellence competition. And in 2014 they came second with their El Naranjo Dipilto (Maracaturra) lot!
