The suitable climate provides an excellent growth environment for the cultivation of coffee. The mineral-rich pozzolanic soil provides abundant nutrients for the cultivation of coffee trees. High-quality Nicaraguan coffee is also grown in the northern and central highlands of the country. The best coffee is produced in Matagalpa. The coffee produced here is highly respected by coffee lovers all over the world and gradually valued by the boutique community. Abundant precipitation, suitable temperature, high altitude, fertile soil and unique planting ecology are the prerequisites for creating high-quality Nicaraguan coffee.

Nicaragua is an economically backward agricultural country, is one of the poorest countries in Central America, the unemployment rate is very high, people live in poverty, and coffee is Nicaragua's pillar industry, producing nearly 100,000 tons of coffee beans every year. Due to the poor economic foundation, the coffee industry is still relatively backward, and coffee farmers are also in a relatively poor state.

Although Nicaragua is a country with a large territory in Central America, it is not a big producer in the coffee world, and its output and reputation are much weaker than that of its neighbor Costa Rica. But the high-quality Nicaraguan coffee ranks first among the coffee beans in the world and enjoys a good reputation.

Java species are still planted in Java at present, but because of their low yield and poor disease resistance, many farms have changed to new varieties. From the appearance, the traditional Java bean type is quite similar to Typica species, generally seen Java bean type is short and slender (that is, short berry-shaped), while long-grain (long berry) Java species are even more rare. In addition to the rarity of variety and appearance, this coffee cup tests flavor, and this Java seed can meet the needs of all parties: scarcity, good flavor, and the story of this species being planted!

The coffee farm that produces this variety is called lemon tree, El Limoncillo. Since it was tried to plant in 2001, it has been planted in five family manors because of its charming flavor, but the total output is still very small, and the best one is less than a hundred bags a year.

When the current landowner Misael Sauceda Olivera inherited from his father, there were only two plots for planting and development, and then he bought land from his neighbors, which has grown to its present scale.

It was still ranked 24th in 2007, rose to the fourth place in 2008, and was in high spirits in 2012. Won the runner-up.
