Guatemala Finca Capetillo
<p>Finca Capetillo is located in the Antigua Valley between the Agua, Fuego, and Acatenango volcanoes. Capetillo’s coffee has the Antigua Guatemala denomination of origin and is a member of the Antigua Coffee Producers Association (APCA), which certifies the origin of all the coffee produced within a strictly determined area. The Antigua region has ideal coffee growing conditions. The high altitude, mild temperatures of 20 to 26˚C during the day and 10 to18˚C during the night, perfect rain patterns during the year and rich volcanic soil, provide a unique ecosystem for growing coffee. </p>
<p>The finca, owned by Pedro Echeverria (6th generation), has its own wet & dry-mill located close to the village of Alotenango. This year we bought a fine ‘Bourbon’ lot from Capetillo that represents the quality coffee they grow and produce year after year. </p>

Nicaragua Finca Mama Mina
<p>Nicaragua is a rather new country within specialty coffee. Political, economic and also environmental (e.g. hurricanes) disturbances and instabilities kept the country from moving into the specialty market any quicker. The pioneering work of some families, like the Mierisch family, with a clear vision on producing quality coffee supported by e.g. the Cup of Excellence annual competition created the necessary awareness for growing specialty coffee among Nicaraguan coffee farmers.</p>
<p>The Mierisch family owns a couple of excellent farms in the Matagalpa and Jinotega departments and runs their own dry-mill ‘Don Esteban’. Finca Mama Mina (named after the nickname of the great-grandmother Mina McEwan) located in San Ramon is a rather recent finca within the Mierisch group. Harvest season starts in December and finishes in March and the soil is mainly sandy. The farm is located in a micro-climate where it experiences fog for the majority of the day. Therefore there are almost no shade trees at the farm needed. The farms has a wet-mill that shares it with the next-door farm ‘La Huella’. The farm produces washed, pulped natural as well as natural processed coffee.</p>
