Our newest offering, El Diamante: The Reds, comes from Blanca Nieve’s farm, El Diamante in Jinotega, Nicaragua. This coffee, hinted at by its name, is comprised of two varietals of coffee - red caturra, and red catuai. Finca El Diamante is 100% female owned by Blanca Nieve, one of the first farmers to join Gold Mountain Coffee Growers when she and Gold Mountain’s flagship farm were both members of a fair trade cooperative that suffered from mismanagement. Gold Mountain has provided her financing throughout the years as well as market access, actions which have allowed her to triple the size of her farm. Working with Gold Mountain has also allowed Blanca to improve her wet mill and house, install solar drying structures, fund multiple life-saving operations for her grandchild, and produce this volume specialty lot that rivals small microlots for quality either as espresso or pour over.
