Luis Manuel Almendarez and Olga Rodriguez are the owners of finca La Guadalupana in Dipilto, Nicaragua. Olga's family has been cultivating coffee for many generations. Inspired by his wife's family, Luis moved to the United States for 5 years for work, to save enough money to buy and finance his coffee operations on La Guadalupana. In 2011, the Red Catuai from this farm won first place in the Cup of Excellence.
As a varietal, Red Catuai seems to be much more intense in fruit flavours and acidity than its yellow counterpart. This Red Catuai is no exception. It offers a clean and bright acidity, with orange-yellow fruit tones in the cup.
