Located adjacent to the picturesque Jicaro mountain in Nuevo Segovia region, Finca La Argentina produces a variety of micro-lots grown around an environment incredibly wild where coffee trees grow densely amongst shade trees of banana and Inga. The potassium provided to the soil by the banana trees is elemental to the nutrition of the coffee on the farm. All power on this rainforest certified farm is provided by solar panels and a rainwater harvesting tank which produces hydroelectricity.

Finca La Argentina is managed by Juan Carlos along with 40 permanent employees and 150 pickers during the harvest. Ripe cherries are handpicked and sorted between December and March.

This fully natural caturra lot called "El Bosque" is the pride of head farmer Octavio Peralta creating a uniquely fruity & rich coffee suitable for filter or espresso styles.
