Bridazul has made a significant impact in empowering local farmers and producers in Nicaragua's Nueva Segovia Department. Co-founders Claudia and Tim align closely with our values and aspirations. It was inevitable that we would join forces with them.
Claudia and Tim's focus on supporting small-scale, micro-lot farmers sets them apart. Operating from Finca El Árbol, they provide essential resources such as a processing mill, agronomists, and educational support. They also prioritize the well-being of their workers and families, offering medical care and education. By connecting producers with buyers and offering guidance on the profitable sale of green beans, they contribute significantly to the region's development.
Through our collaboration with Bridazul, we can forge genuine relationships with producers who share our values. Together, we can create lasting positive change and foster more sustainable livelihoods.

Nicaraguan coffees are renowned for well-balanced flavour profiles, usually medium-bodied with vibrant citrus acidity and semi-sweet chocolate tones. The volcanic soil in the region contributes to the thriving production of coffee and the tropical climate ensures consistently high-quality yields.
Ocotal, the capital of Nicaragua's Nueva Segovia Department is nestled in a valley with a modest population of 39,450. Its name derives from the Nahuatl term "ocotl" meaning pine resin. Founded in 1543, Ocotal was the third Spanish colony established in what would later become the provinces of Nicaragua and Costa Rica.
The region currently occupied by Ocotal was previously inhabited by a diverse set of ethnic groups who likely migrated from Mexico to Central America centuries before European arrival.
