Finca Idealista, the flagship farm of Nicaragua is a prime example of how to change the world through coffee. Idealista uses machetes instead of herbicides, a mushroom to kill insects instead of pesticides, volcanic filters to keep mucilage-filled wash-water out of the watershed, and chickens roost above the farm's compost to infuse it with nitrogen. Pickers are paid double local rates.
This lot of geisha should not exist because the yield is so low that almost any other variety would result in more income for the farm. It is a true labor of love that produces jasmine and tea-like cupping notes.
