Farm and Station Story
Specialty coffee from Nicaragua, specifically from the Los Nubarrones farm, grows on sandy loam soil high in the mountains of Mozonte. The farm was established in 2012 by Mariano Montealegre, who chose from the beginning to cultivate only the Java variety. The coffee trees thrive in the shade of pine, guava, and liquidambar trees, within a protected microclimate near Cerro Mogoton, Nicaragua’s highest peak.
Processing takes place at Cafetos de Segovia in Ocotal, led by sisters Ana and Martha Albir. The station ensures careful, high-quality processing not only for Los Nubarrones but also for dozens of other local producers. During harvest season, it handles up to 30 tons of coffee per day.
How the Coffee is Processed
This coffee from Nicaragua undergoes anaerobic fermentation, a method involving fermentation without access to oxygen, followed by natural drying. This modern processing approach enhances the coffee’s sweetness, complexity, and velvety texture.
Variety
Los Nubarrones coffee is based exclusively on the Java variety, known for its delicate floral notes and distinct sweetness. With ideal growing conditions and precise processing, it delivers an unforgettable tasting experience.

Farm and station story
This Nicaraguan specialty coffee from Bethania carries a strong heritage. Founded in 1991 in the heart of Nueva Segovia, renowned for its high-standard coffee, it’s now led by sisters Ana and Martha Albir, whose roots trace back to 1930. The family faced hardship during the revolution in the 1970s and was forced to move to the USA. Later, upon returning to Ocotal, they found most of their land had been taken, but they stood firm, determined to continue their coffee tradition.
In 2015, they built their dry mill, Cafetos de Segovia, gaining total control over processing. Today, they process coffee from their fields and work with over 47 smallholder farmers across the Macuelizo region.
How it’s processed
Coffee from Bethania is washed, a method that brings out clarity and brightness. About 80% of batches undergo this strict washed protocol. Fresh cherries are rapidly processed into wet parchment and then dried on patios: first in shade for 5–6 days, then in the sun. The patios are covered with black mesh to avoid direct ground contact.
Drier-processed cherries are also actively turned and pooled during hot periods to ensure even drying and flavor retention, especially critical at lower altitudes (below 900 m asl) where the sun’s intensity is stronger.
Varietal
This coffee centers on the Java varietal, celebrated for its gentle sweetness, floral notes, and nuanced complexity. Originally from Ethiopia, Java has thrived in Nicaragua’s microclimate. The farm also grows Caturra, Catuai, Catimor, and Maracaturra, allowing the sisters to experiment and continually refine the flavor profile.
