1 - Los Alpes - Nicaragua 2026 (Dry)

"I was born in Ocotal, nestled among the mountains of Nueva Segovia, surrounded by the aroma of coffee and the hard work of a family that has dedicated its life to coffee farming. My name is Olman Valladarez Acevedo, and from a very young age, I understood that producing exceptional coffee is not just about planting; it is about tending to every detail with discipline, passion, and respect for the land. Today, after more than 24 years on this path, we at Finca Los Alpes continue to work with the same commitment: to create coffees that represent the very best of Nicaragua, ensuring that every cup tells an authentic story of origin, quality, and excellence.
My Geisha coffee and its natural process are the results of years of experience, rigorous selection, and a constant quest to perfect every stage of production. From the hand-picking of cherries at their exact point of ripeness to the precise control of processing and drying, everything is focused on preserving elegant, clean, and expressive profiles. Thanks to this dedication, I have consistently participated in the 'Cup of Excellence' since 2006, and in 2025, I was honored as a 'Legend of Excellence' by the Alliance for Coffee Excellence—a recognition granted to only six producers worldwide. When someone buys my coffee, they are not just acquiring a high-quality product; they are acquiring years of commitment, traceability, and passion transformed into a unique cup experience.
What makes our coffee unique is the combination of our region's privileged conditions, the meticulous work behind every lot, and the desire to continue elevating the reputation of Nicaraguan coffee internationally. Every recognition we receive also represents the hard work of our family, our community, and everyone involved in this process. The phrase that defines us is: 'A coffee that builds relationships through honorability, passion, and a commitment to excellence.' My greatest satisfaction is knowing that, through every cup, we build relationships based on integrity, passion, and a commitment to excellence. Because more than just selling coffee, we share a real story born in the mountains of Nicaragua that reaches the world with its own identity
