Nicaragua - Los Angeles Estate
The Canales family was the first winner of the Cup of Excellence in Nicaragua. Don Daniel has four sons who have carried on the tradition of producing high-end specialty coffee in the Pueblo Nuevo region. The Los Angeles farm has been in the family for 15 years and has been managed and worked by Norman Canales (the middle brother) for the past five harvests since its replanting. During this period, new varieties (Parainema) have been introduced on the farm to complement the original varieties such as Catuai, Caturra, and Bourbon. These coffees are fermented for 24 to 30 hours, sun-dried for 3 days, then moved to shade to extend the drying process for another 18 to 21 days. The coffee is then stored for up to a month to ensure optimal resting of the green beans.
