Nicaraguan SHG Finca Villa Guadalupe Natural (GP)

Villa Guadalupe, which neighbors Santa Teresa in Dipilto, Nicaragua, is owned by Entizar Zalan and her husband, Jorge Lagos. After seeing the success of their first family farm Santa Teresa, they decided to purchase the farm next door to expand their operations and to continue their endeavor to produce high-quality coffees. With a vision to produce coffees for the Specialty International Market, they planted new trees, including some new varietals for the area, invested in a wet mill, created drying patios with elevated tables, drying tunnels, and built a full cupping lab to evaluate the quality of the coffee.
