Finca El Cipres
In the northern reaches of the country is the region of Nueva Segovia, bordering Honduras with high mountains ideal for coffee production. It is here, in the town of Las Manos in the Dipilto municipality where Finca El Cipres is situated. Through family inheritance, Isacio Javier Albir Vilchez took over the farm 30 years ago. At Finca El Cipres, thanks to the rich soil, Isacio is able to grow Parainema, Marsellesa and Obata. This specific lot is called El Cipres and is 100% Obata. Isacio’s farm is broken up into lots based on altitude and area.
