La Naranja - Nicaragua 2020 Verified listing

My father owned these lands, and they already had that name, but he inherited all his children so that we could work. I live in a place that is 100% pure coffee, and my dad has always dedicated himself to this crop.

He always supported me in handling the coffee during the time I was studying and I had to meet other classmates, do homeworks and tasks, so when I had free time I would come with him here and he would explain to me how all the handling was and so I copied everything he said.

I have always liked to know where the process begins, for example the bag filling, the seed, after that the planting, I was always interested and now I already work on my own plot.
