Region: Dipilto, Nueva Segovia

Elevation: 1650 masl

About: Finca Buenos Aires, nestled in the scenic Dipilto Mountains of northern Nicaragua near the Honduran border, is a testament to the Valladárez family’s dedication to coffee. Founded by Luis Emilio Valladárez over 50 years ago, the 75-hectare farm cultivates Maracaturra, Maragogipe, Java, Villa Sarchí, and Caturra at elevations of 1,200 to 1,450 masl.

Now managed by Luis’s son, Olman, the farm has flourished, earning recognition in competitions such as the Cup of Excellence. In 2025, Finca Buenos Aires placed third with a natural Maracaturra, while its sister farm, Los Alpes, placed fourth with a washed Geisha.

Maracaturra, a cross between Maragogipe and Caturra, combines the former’s large bean size with the latter’s compact growth. The farm’s washed Maracaturra expresses the variety and terroir clearly, offering stone fruit and spice notes.

Beyond coffee, the Valladárez family invests in community well-being, supporting public health campaigns and organising local celebrations. Their philosophy emphasises sustainability and a familial spirit, ensuring everyone involved, from collaborators to consumers, shares in the fruits of their labour.
