About: Finca Los Alpes, nestled in the scenic Dipilto Mountains of northern Nicaragua near the Honduran border, stands as a testament to the Valladárez family's dedication to coffee excellence. Many varieties are cultivated here, but the Geisha trees are the youngest, producing their first harvest in 2023. Under the management of Luis’s son, Olman Valladárez, the farm has flourished, earning first place in the Cup of Excellence in both 2023 and 2024 with a natural Geisha like this one.
Beyond coffee, the Valladárez family’s commitment extends to community well-being, sponsoring public health campaigns and organising celebratory events. The philosophy at Finca Los Alpes revolves around creating a sustainable and familial atmosphere, where everyone involved, from collaborators to consumers, enjoys the fruits of their labour.
The Geisha grown here is from Panamanian stock, giving it the genetic potential to stand out. This lot was processed using the natural method, showing the variety’s tropical notes.
