La Bendición Maracaturra

This Maracaturra was grown in the Dipilto-Jalapa mountain range in northeast Nicaragua on the farm La Bendición. The farm's name means “the blessing,” and it belongs to our dear friend and coffee producer Luis Alberto Balladarez. La Bendición has been in Luis’s family for four generations and he is training up and passing the torch to his children as the fifth generation of coffee farmers. 

La Bendición spans 252 acres, about half of which is dedicated to cultivating coffee. This land is divided into 8 parcels, each with their own unique varietals planted on them. Despite the diversity of coffees on La Bendición, the pacamara and maracaturra lots are crowd favorites. This one is a Maracaturra—a hybrid of the maragogipe and caturra varietals. This coffee is complex, large in size, and flourishes in the Nicaraguan climate. Once harvested, the coffee is sent to Beneficio Las Segovias for processing.
