Nicaragua Juan Lucas Gonzalez

Nicaraguan coffees are a longstanding favorite in our offerings here at Dancing Goats® Coffee. We have developed and fostered many relationships over the years. In fact our longest running relationship has been from Nicaragua and is now 27 years running. That being said we are always looking for new sources of great coffee and rewarding quality when we can. This very limited offering from Juan Lucas Perez is one of them. 

Juan Lucas is part of a group of growers called Gold Mountain Coffee. GMC functions much like a cooperative in that the producers pool and share resources to support agronomy and marketing costs while producing community lots to help benefit the group as a whole. However, there are still many smaller micro-lots that are produced that offer very unique cup profiles and reward individual producers for their efforts.

This micro-lot from “San Lucas” is one of these standout lots. Over the years Juan Lucas has been slowly acquiring very small parcel of land, having started as primarily a vegetable and cattle farmer. He and his family have now been in the coffee business for quite some time.
