Farm Description:

This coffee comes from Cafetalera Buenos Aires, a coffee mill we regularly buy from in the Ocotal area of Nicaragua. We're continually impressed by the organization and attention to detail at the mill, and at the farms they run in the surrounding mountains, such as Finca Buenos Aires, La Laguna, and Acopio Suyatal. This lot they call "Los Pinos", which refers to a vast land area covered in pine trees that you pass through along the mountain road between the town of Ocotal and their farm Buenos Aires. It's a beautiful site, and not to mention has a fresh smell of the pine trees towering on the hillside. Los Pinos is a blend of coffee from all of their farms. Altitude ranges from 1100 to 1600 meters, and are planted mostly in Caturra and Maracaturras, however the latter are not mixed into the Los Pinos blend.
