Nicaraguan coffee is mainly produced in the central and northern part of the country, covered with volcanic ash and shaded by alpinia trees, resulting in high-quality Nicaraguan coffee, especially Maragogipe (a tree species with very large coffee beans called elephant beans) in Madaguelba, which has a clear taste and excellent aroma, which is round and soft, which is highly appraised in the market.

At the end of the eighteenth century, the Dominicans, who were very devout and obedient to religious order, settled the land of Palencia, where they built a sugar cane plantation and a sugar processing plant, using an underground channel for stone transport to carry water from the El Molino River to the factory, which remains to this day. The excellent local climate and favorable growth conditions are also very suitable for growing pumpkins, especially those with narrow guard and hard bark, which are locally known as "Tecomate". Local people will take out the flesh of the pumpkin and use the hollowed-out pumpkin shell as a container for water, which can be used to quench thirst in a timely manner, and the water in the container can not only stay fresh, but also become more delicious. Finally, the village was named "Los Tecomates".

Mr. Herlindo Lemus Alvizures bought Los Mixto, the village next door to Los Tecomates in 1954, and grew a lot of corn and beans here. In 1979, Herlindo Lemus's brother Efra í n Lemus began growing 1. 5 hectares of coffee trees here. It was found that coffee grew extremely well here, and they continued to grow more coffee crops, which now covers an area of 47 hectares, which is the starting point of St. George's Coffee Manor. At St. George's Manor, which is 1400 to 1600 meters above sea level, the shade trees that accompany the growth of coffee trees include silver birch, Inca and oak. The varieties of coffee produced on the estate are Kaddura, Maracadura and Huang Bourbon.
