Thank you for visiting Philocoffea.
In the northwestern part of Central America’s Nicaragua, along the Honduras border, lies the Dipilto region in Nueva Segovia.
This high-altitude area is blessed with fertile soil and microclimates, and is well known as one of Nicaragua’s finest coffee-producing regions, with many lots placing highly in the Cup of Excellence competition.
This coffee is cultivated by 65 smallholder farmers who live around the Cordillera area of Dipilto.
The name La Roca means “the rock” in Spanish, and it was inspired by a symbolic local landmark — a famous statue of the Virgin Mary known as “the Rock of Mary.”
Each producer carefully handpicks fully ripe cherries, which are then processed using the traditional washed method, fermented for 14 to 24 hours, and pre-dried.
Afterward, the parchment coffee is delivered to the Estrella dry mill, where it is dried slowly on African beds under shaded covers.
