Finca La Picona, situated in the Las Manos community of Dipilto, Nueva Segovia, Nicaragua, belongs to Martha Lucía Albir Sotomayor, adding it to three other farms and her co-ownership of the dry mill Cafetos de Segovia. This nine-hectare farm produces around 90 quintals of coffee each year. A variety of coffees, including Geisha, Caturra, Java and Catuaí, are grown under natural shade from native trees and fruit plants. The farm uses a mix of organic nutrients, compost and careful pruning to keep the plants healthy and support responsible production.
Maracaturra is a rare large-bean hybrid of Maragogyoe and Caturra resulting in a juicy, complex cup with medium body and molasses sweetness.
Ripe cherries are hand picked, taken to Finca Bethania, where washed process follows of cherry selection, flotation eighteen-hour rest, then the washed coffee ferments in tanks for 24-36 hours, before the coffee is ready for export.
