NICARAGUA Single Origin Las Mercedes

Las Mercedes is a beautiful coffee farm located in Jintotega, located 15 kilometers from the city.  It was founded in 1992 by Federico Lopez.  Lopez has more than 40 years of experience producing coffee.  Seventy of the farm's 140 hectares are devoted to coffee production.  The beans are traceable from the production field until they are packed in jute bags and sent to clients.  After harvest, the cherry is depulped with an eco-pulper to save water and reduce water contamination. Beans are then washed and sun dried on patios.  Shipping occurs from April to June.  The farm produces approximately 2,760 bags of 69 kilograms annually.
