The Zeledon Family Farms has been growing “The Gold Coffee” for over 5 generations…
Under tall shade canopies at over 3600 ft. in the Matagalpa Mountains of Nicaragua, the Zeledon Family grows their 100% pure Arabica Caturra Specialty High Grown (SHG) Coffee. Their farm is located in some of the highest mountains in Matagalpa, north of the White Cliffs of Penas Blancas, near La Dalia. This is known as the “GOLD ZONE” for growing coffee.
The superior quality of The Zeledon’s Family Gold Coffee is their Old World attention to quality control from growing, picking, drying and consistency.
Quality control starts with coffee trees that have been meticulously cared for generations. The process starts by hand picking only the highest quality and largest beans from the beginning. The beans are all dry processed on large patios, naturally by the sun. The beans are turned every few hours to ensure plenty of air circulation leading to even drying and prevention of any mold or bacterial growth. After drying, the final membrane is removed, revealing the “GOLD COFFEE” bean. The dried beans are then sized by machine, to ensure that consistency in maintained in each 100 lb. bag. After the bags are loaded on pallets and put into protected storage, each bag is then probed top, middle and bottom once last time before they are placed in shipping containers. All shipments arrive at the shipping port of your choice, fully bonded, released by US Customs and the FDA. The shipment can be turned over to the client at the docks or delivery to your facility with a secure chain of custody can also be arranged.
