Finca La Pavona, also known as Finca Los Andes, is a coffee farm in the Jinotega region of Nicaragua, sitting at elevations between 1,100 and 1,300 meters above sea level. It was established in 2003 by Austrian Ulrich Salamun and produces high-quality coffee varieties such as Red Catuai, Caturra, and Paca.
The coffee is carefully processed: it is hand-picked, pulped, fermented, washed, and pre-dried on the farm. Afterward, it is transported to a family-owned dry mill for sun drying. The beans rest for at least six weeks before being hulled and prepared for export.
In the cup, Finca La Pavona’s washed coffee presents a balance of vanilla and citrus notes, finishing with a distinct chocolatey character.
