About: Monte Líbano, nestled in the scenic Dipilto Mountains of northern Nicaragua near the Honduran border, was acquired in 2017 as the Valladárezfamily expanded their coffee operation to focus more on specialty. It stands as a testament to their dedication to coffee excellence. The farm has a unique combination of microclimates, soil diversity, and altitude that makes it ideal for growing high-quality coffees. Many varieties are cultivated, including Caturra, Maracaturra, Pacamara, and Geisha. Under the management of Luis’s son, Olman Valladárez, the farm has flourished.
Beyond coffee, the Valladárez family’s commitment extends to community well-being, sponsoring public health campaigns and organising celebratory events. The philosophy at Monte Líbano revolves around creating a sustainable and familial atmosphere, where everyone involved, from collaborators to consumers, enjoys the fruits of their labour.
