Producer Profile:

The story begins in the 1960s, when Alvaro’s grandfather, Zacarias Blandon, first began cultivating coffee high in the lush, volcanic soil of Jinotega at 4,429 feet above sea level. Through decades marked by political unrest, natural disasters, and the ever-changing challenges of coffee farming, the Blandon family remained deeply committed to their craft, continuously evolving their practices and holding tight to their values of perseverance and community.
