Finca Un Regalo de Dios, Mozonte, Nueva Segovia, Nicaragua
In the heart of Nicaragua's northern highlands, in the mountains of Nueva Segovia, lies the Finca Un Regalo de Dios – meaning “A Gift from God.” Here, Luis Alberto Balladarez Moncada, one of the country's most respected coffee farmers, cultivates coffee on around 70 hectares at an altitude of up to 1,700 meters. The plantations are nestled in pine and deciduous forests, which create exceptional biodiversity. Although it is not a pure Women Producers Microlot, the coffee is predominantly produced by women: 78 women and 7 men work on the finca. The finca bears the Cup of Excellence seal, the most prestigious competition for top-quality coffees, and has its own processing facility (wet mill). This means that selection, processing, and quality control remain entirely in-house. Sustainability is Luis's top priority: the coffee pulp is returned to the plantations as organic compost to strengthen the soil and protect nature.
VARIETY & PROCESS
Natural (dry) processing
Catimor variety from Nicaragua
 
Regalo de Dios is a hand-picked microlot of the Catimor variety – a cross between Caturra and Timor Hybrid, bred in the 1950s for greater resistance to coffee rust. Catimor impresses with its productivity and adaptability. At high altitudes such as those found at Finca Un Regalo de Dios, and with careful processing, the variety unfolds its full potential: sweet, fruity notes and a lively acidity. The beans are processed naturally, which emphasizes their intense fruity character.

Regalo de Dios
Our new espresso – selected together with you at the Berlin Coffee Festival. A naturally processed microlot from renowned producer Luis Alberto Balladarez Moncada from Nicaragua. Regalo de Dios seduces with a complex interplay of apricot, chocolate, and cherry aromas, complemented by subtle notes of orange and honey.

The result is a full-bodied, velvety espresso that perfectly balances sweetness, depth, and fruity liveliness. A coffee that tells a special story not only through its origin but also through its joint selection at the Coffee Festival — an espresso that you helped to create.
Cup of Excellence
Luis Alberto Balladarez Moncada's Finca Regalo de Dios has won the Cup of Excellence award several times – the highest accolade a coffee farm can receive. It stands for absolute top quality. The competition is organized by the Alliance for Coffee Excellence in the most important coffee-growing countries in Africa, South and Central America. Before a coffee receives the seal, it must pass a rigorous tasting process: A national jury of experts from coffee organizations, exporters, and Q graders evaluates each coffee. The competition runs over several rounds: Five cups of each coffee are cupped simultaneously to test its quality and consistency. Only the best survive the fierce competition – out of several hundred entries, usually only 20–30 coffees per country are awarded.

Important note for ground coffee:
Please note that we cannot offer a universal grind for ground coffee for use in portafilter machines. The optimal grind must be individually adjusted to the respective machine, as factors such as filter size, pump and brewing pressure, and temperature vary greatly depending on the model. We therefore always recommend purchasing whole beans and adjusting the grind yourself according to your machine.

Important note regarding returns:
Ground coffee cannot be exchanged, as it is ground exclusively at the customer’s request. Thank you for your understanding.

Sustainable cultivation and quality awareness
Similar to wine, the origin, cultivation, and careful harvesting of coffee beans form the basis for specialty coffee. We only use ripe, hand-picked 100% Arabica coffee beans for our coffees, as the labor-intensive harvesting process is an essential quality criterion. Our highland coffees are natural products and are grown in a nature-friendly way in shady forest gardens. This preserves the biological diversity in the growing region. The coffee cherries can ripen slowly at cool altitudes with nutritious and fertile soil conditions. Under these optimal climatic conditions near the equator, the coffee plants have more time to develop their characteristic and fruity aromas.  
Freshly roasted by hand
All Röststätte coffees are gently roasted by hand in Berlin so that the natural aromas can fully develop without producing unwanted acids. To achieve a distinctive body and a versatile flavor profile in the cup, we aim to highlight and optimally process the special characteristics of each variety, farm, and origin of the coffee with our roasting process. Our goal is to exploit the full potential of the green coffee through our roasting method, thereby highlighting the valuable work of the producers in the growing countries. These are our quality principles – from source to the final cup.
