'El Paraíso, a ten-hectare coffee farm located in the municipality of Ocotal, Nueva Segovia, is managed by Hipólito Acuña Morales. Nestled in a lush, mountainous landscape straddling the border between Honduras and Nicaragua, the farm lives up to its name, "The Paradise," with its vibrant vegetation and thriving canopy of trees. Hipólito, a young and forward-thinking farmer, took over the family estate in the early 2010s, steering its focus towards high-quality, specialty coffee. Under his leadership, El Paraíso cultivates a variety of Arabica varietals, including Gesha, Java, and Maragogype, using agroforestry practices that enrich biodiversity.

Hipólito's entrepreneurial spirit is evident not only in his innovative farming practices but also in his ownership of a building materials shop in the nearby village, reflecting his strong community ties. The farm's processing is supported by Bridazul, founded by Claudia Lovo in 2019, which promotes sustainable connections between producers and consumers. Bridazul's expertise in carbonic maceration has been pivotal for El Paraíso, enhancing the farm's coffee profiles with fruit-forward characteristics and complexity. The meticulous processing at Bridazul's station ensures El Paraíso's coffees meet the highest standards, gaining recognition in competitions like the Cup of Excellence. El Paraíso stands as a testament to the possibilities of sustainable, innovative coffee cultivation deeply rooted in its natural and cultural surroundings.
