Los Congo Manor is located in San Fernando, a small town in the province of New Bosnia and Herzegovina northwest of Nicaragua, which is very close to the Honduran border. The very high altitude here averages more than 1500, which is more special than Matagalpa/Jinotega in other producing areas, and because of such special local conditions, it has a high level of coffee flavor.

Jose Rene Paguaga, the grandfather of the landowner Rene Martin Martin, had owned his own estate since he was a teenager. As the estate grew, the civil war in Nicaragua in 1979 forced his family to move to neighboring Honduras. It was not until the age of 70 that jose returned to Nicaragua with his family and re-established the present Los Congo Manor.

The main varieties of the manor are Kaddura (caturra) and Pakamara (pacamara). Pacamara, the father of the current landowner Martin, planted Pacamara from El Salvador on the advice of a friend because of its productivity and cold resistance. The estate's Pacamara was the runner-up of the COE in 2009 and finished fifth in 2014 with a high score of 88.73 in COE, Nicaragua. The bean was also listed as one of the top 30 beans in 2014 by the International Cup testing and monitoring website coffee review.

These unique tree species from El Salvador not only have the cold resistance of growing in the mountains, but also have enough fruit to produce, mixed with the complex taste of Maragogype big bean and Pacas, they have a secure place in the fierce competition of Central American coffee.

In recent years, the Pacamara variety with bright sweet and sour fruit and solid texture (derived from the hybrid of Maragogipe and Pacas by coffee researchers in El Salvador in 1957) has become a trend and has achieved excellent performance in the COE competition one after another.
