Santa Isabel El Parainema
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 community of La Laguna in Dipilto where Janaina Lovo Silva and Jaime Armando Lovo Moncada maintain their farm, Finca Santa Isabel. Their family has been running this farm for over 70 years and it was named after Saint Isabel. The farm is broken up into lots based on area and altitude. This specific lot is called La Parainema, since that is the varietal grown in this area.

Introduced into the country in the mid-1800s and forming a central position in the country’s economy for more than a century, coffee is currently Nicaragua’s primary export. Its production generates over $448 million dollars a year in exports, representing 8.2% of overall exports, and provides more than 200,000 jobs to locals.
