Located close to the border of Honduras in the Nueva Segovia department, and part of the Cordillera de Dipilito Natural Reserve, the area has a rich biodiversity of flora and fauna. The La Estrella mill was opened in 2013 by Caravela to provide producers with a new market for their coffee. This lot comes from small producers living close to the mill and provides the blend with notes of hazelnut and dark chocolate.
