The López family has grown coffee in Jinotega for over a century, starting with patriarch Vicente López López in the Datanlí mountains. His son founded Betania, the family’s original farm, before it was lost during Nicaragua’s civil conflict in the 1980s. Today the family farms two estates, Los Papales and Betania, the second named in memory of the first.
Los Papales sits on the slopes of Cerro Chimborazo in the Cordillera Isabelia, between 1,350 and 1,500 metres. This lot is a natural. Whole cherries are dried on raised beds for around 30 days, then rested for three weeks before milling. The result is a cup of dark chocolate, creamy vanilla and bright red berries.
