We’ve always known Finca Las Hortensias as the farm of Ana and Martha Albir, a pair of Nicaraguan coffee producing sisters. Las Hortensias sits in Nicaragua’s the northern region of Nueva Segovia which borders Honduras. The sisters inherited the farm from their father in 2014, and have since run the farm with a big focus on environmental protection and sustainability- seeking harmony in soil, water, flora and fauna.

This honey process lot, roasted by Yallah, honours manager Douglas Ponce, who lives on site and oversees all of the farm’s daily activities. With so much biodiversity to keep in fine balance, there’s a lot to manage! It’s a real standout coffee; hand selected Red Catuai brings juicy acidity to prominent sweet raisin flavour and a seriously syrupy, sticky body.
