Cafetos de Segovia micromill is a labor of love from the Albir family, now in the second generation with sisters Ana and Martha Albir. Their father bought a coffee farm in 1991, tending to it with dedication until political strife forced his family to leave the country.
In 2007, Ana and Martha decided to take over the farm and continue their father's tradition. In 2015, they invested in a mill as well, and began their milling operation as Cafetos de Segovia in 2016, providing milling and exporting services not only for their own family farm but also for 11 nearby farms owned by friends and family. The Albir sisters and their associates are interested in producing specialty coffee, and are going the extra mile to separate lots based on variety and experimental processes such as Honeys and Naturals, which are unusual for Nicaraguan coffee.
Nueva Segovia is a higher-altitude region of Nicaragua. The average farm size is 1 to 14 hectares, and coffees from Nueva Segovia have performed very well in Cup of Excellence competitions.
