Santa Teresa de Mogotón is a remote, high-elevation farm in Nueva Segovia, produced by Silvio Sanchez—an agronomist who came to coffee through equal parts training and commitment. Silvio and his mother saved, borrowed, and bought land specifically suited to coffee in the La Unión / San Fernando area, then built a farm defined by structure, discipline, and repeatable quality.
The road in is a single cut through heavy rainfall country—beyond cell service, with deep trenches that challenge even well-equipped 4×4s. Pine forest and interplanted shade trees create a cool canopy over neatly organized rows across roughly 10 hectares.
This lot is naturally processed: cherries are picked and quality-checked at the farm, then transported down to Ocotal for drying in full sun on African beds, with constant turning and sorting for uniformity. Each day’s harvest is handled separately to preserve clarity and consistency.
In the cup, expect structured sweetness that reads as brown sugar and dark chocolate, with strawberry lifting the mid-palate and a citrus finish that keeps everything clean and bright.
A natural process coffee with restraint—fruit-forward, but grounded and smooth.Â
