Los Pocitos is the kind of transformation story we love, think farm renovation with a flavour-first focus. Edwin Burgos took over this 35-hectare plot in Jinotega back in 2009, after it had spent years in a bit of a slump. The land had once been part of a sprawling estate, but following agrarian reform in the 1980s, it was redistributed, passed around, and eventually left neglected.

Where others saw a rundown patch, Edwin saw potential. He rebuilt the farm from the ground up—restoring infrastructure, planting quality-focused varieties like Catuai, Caturra and Java, and implementing better post-harvest practices.

His natural process lots, like this one, showcase all the juicy clarity and syrupy sweetness you’d hope for—proof that hard work (and a good eye for variety selection) pays off. Grown at 1,250 metres above sea level and harvested between December and March, this is a coffee that hits all the right notes.

It’s a testament to Edwin’s long-game thinking—and a reminder that great coffee often starts with someone willing to back themselves and bet on the land.
