In 2012, Luis Emilio Valladárez Zelaya identified the potential quality of the coffee at the site of the La Laguna farm. Taking advantage of the microclimate and surrounding area, he purchased the land with the intention of producing high quality caturra varietals. This farm has produced specialty green beans that have received two awards in the final round of the Cup of Excellence programs in Nicaragua. Project Origin continue to be amazed by the coffee beans and cup profiles that Luis and his family consistently produce, and we enjoy sharing these coffees with roasters all over the world.
