16 - De La Coffee Farm - Nicaragua 2024

My name is Don Heberto Rivas, we are from the municipality of san juan de rio coco department of Madriz, Casa Rivas Gurdián is the fourth generation of the family that is in the coffee business. In our farm we have 22 manzanas where there are different varieties of coffee such as; Maragogype, Java, Geisha, Bourbon, Pacamara, Catuai, Sidra and Ethiopia.
We founded a coffee shop in the city of Managua and it should be emphasized that we produce and manage the entire process in our farm and bring it to our stores, we are the first to give an added value to a coffee shop, here we taste and pack the coffee, a fresh coffee, a quality coffee. Since 2016 we were the first to have a specialty coffee shop in Nicaragua and in our stores, we prepare more than 10 forms of infusions and coffee extractions especially the house Blend with 87.00 points, we also make mention that there are articles that call us the temple of coffee in managua.
Our mission is to promote high quality coffee to promote Nicaraguan coffee. We have had the opportunity to specialize in El Salvador with certifications from the SCA, my wife in cupping and myself in roasting and roasting curves.
We are the first coffee shop that competes in the Cup of Excellence Contest, we are happy to mark history with our collaborators of the farm and our stores that are a fundamental pillar that help us with the care and management of the coffee that allows us to have the privilege of quality.
This is the second time that the brand is making and leaving a legacy in Nicaragua and it encourages us a lot, and we want to continue growing every year to continue competing and being among the best coffees in the country. The Nicaragua 2024 Cup of Excellence Contest has given us a seal of quality in our coffee shop, since a panel of international judges valued it, which makes us happy and helps us at a local level to position ourselves more in the market.
With this endorsement that the Nicaragua Cup of Excellence Contest gives us, this seal of quality is a blessing, it is more than a prestige.
We have represented Nicaragua twice at the world level in barista competitions and we have been champions and sub-champions in Ireland and South Korea, we won first place as the best SME in Central America, competing with more than 800 SMEs.
DELAFINCACOFFEE/ CASA RIVAS GURDIAN has contributed to Nicaraguan coffee at a local level and this is the way we tell Nicaragua that here we are and the coffee you drink is from cup of Excellence Nicaragua.
