A brief history of coffee in Nicaragua:

From 1840 to 1940, it was the "coffee boom" of Nicaragua (Coffee Boom). Coffee began to become the main export crop in Nicaragua. Under the strong promotion of the government, foreign companies could easily invest or acquire land, which led to the birth of large estates. After that, the autocratic ruler Somoza established the coffee cooperative (1936-1979), but it was soon overthrown by the Sanding National Liberation Front (Sandinistas). When Nepal entered communist rule in 1979, the coffee trade became very difficult.

The CIA began to support the rebels (Contras) in an attempt to overturn the New deal. In order to gain greater benefits, they did not hesitate to attack coffee workers' vehicles, destroy processing plants and create unrest, which dealt another big blow to Nepalese coffee. Nevertheless, coffee is still the most important export cash crop in Nepal.

After the 20th century, after the sharp fall in coffee prices (1999-2003), hurricanes and millennium droughts, there are about 40,000 coffee farmers in Nepal today. Due to the shortage of funds for chemical fertilizers, most coffee trees are grown organically. Coffee farmers began to focus on quality, pay attention to production and marketing resume, ("production and marketing curriculum vitae" is coffee can be traced back to a single manor, or a common cooperative formed by producers. ) the coffee industry in Nepal is showing signs of a gradual revival.

The Fincas Mierisch family, which owns a number of high-quality and well-known estates, including the newly emerging Las Delicias estate in recent years, is even more brilliant with its award-winning record.

Hidden Manor (La Escondida), located in the province of Sinotega (Jinotega), near Lake Apanas (Lake Apanas), belongs to the Miresh family. The estate owned by the Miresh family is located either in the province of Sinotega or on the plateau of Matagalpa (Matagalpa) on the other side. The hidden manor is surrounded by many trees and is adjacent to a large forest, hence its name. The average annual temperature here is no more than 25 degrees Celsius, and the elevation of the manor is between 975 and 1230 meters above sea level.

The natural low-caffeine-pointed bourbon species (Laurina) produced by Hidden Manor, in addition to the low caffeine content brought by special varieties, the flavor greatly meets the high-quality needs of low-caffeine families. And this batch of red card too (Red Catuai) is through a special treatment-black pearl fermentation, to show more flavor.

Black Pearl fermentation (Perla Negra) is a method in which the newly harvested ripe coffee fruit is directly exposed to the sun in an opaque barrel to produce a unique fermentation effect. After about three days, the fruit shows a dark brown appearance, and then spread out for a thin layer of sunlight. The flavor of this treatment features condensed milk-like sweet aromas, as well as dark chocolate and dark fruit flavors. The taste is smooth, with special aroma and excellent sweetness.
