STORY

Featuring Alta de Jinotega

Alta de Jinotega is our current organic Nicaraguan coffee. A fully washed and patio dried coffee, it is sourced from family owned farms organized around Cooperativa Multifuncional Family Coffee R.L. or COMULFAC in Jinotega, Nicaragua. Look for notes of dark cocoa, sweet black cherry and a clean finish.

COMULFAC (Cooperativa Multifuncional Family Coffee R.L.) is located in Jinotega, Nicaragua. Coop member farmers cultivate coffee on farms that average 4 to100 acres in size and use their own micro-mills to process harvested cherries, allowing for meticulous care in depulping, fermenting, and drying the coffee.

COMULFAC was established with assistance from J&M Family (a privately owned export company in Jinotega), which has been purchasing coffee from these farmers for several years. The idea behind establishing a cooperative model was to help the farmers organize their efforts and combine their resources to develop social projects aimed at improving the quality of life in their communities.
