Nicaragua - limey papales

The López family has been growing coffee in Nicaragua for over 100 years. What started with a single plantation in the mountains of Jinotega has survived generations, civil conflict and even the loss of the family's original farm.

Today, Los Papales sits on the slopes of Cerro Chimborazo, where the family's commitment to biodiversity and sustainable farming helps produce some exceptional coffees.

Beyond coffee, the farm supports its local community, employing up to 450 people during harvest and providing free education and healthcare to workers and neighbouring families.

Grown at 1,300–1,500 metres, cherries are handpicked and processed on-site, giving the family control over quality from harvest to export.

Altitude = 1,300–1,500 MASL
