Coffee from the JJ Borja Nathan family is cultivated in the Apaneca-Lamatepec mountain range. This region's volcanic origins have created a rich ecosystem with soil that is ideal for high quality coffee cultivation. Grown in the shade of well maintained native trees, the family farm preserves the natural habitat for local biodiversity.
The JJ Borja Nathan family has full control of their coffee, from cultivation through to processing at their wet and dry m ill to guarantee top quality. One of the truly unique features to the farm is their use of the geothermal springs at the Agua Caliente Mill. Volcanically heated water comes out of the Earth at 104°F. They also use hot spring water at 95°F, and water from a local reservoir at 82°F. This combination of waters during wet mill processing gives the JJ Borja Nathan family coffee its unique profile.
The JJ Borja Nathan family cultivates their selected coffee varietals for quality and flavor. They grow Bourbon, Pacas, Sampacho, and their own unique variety which they have named ABM. This variety is carefully processed under JJ Borja Nathan's own proprietary process.
