Nicaragua

Built on generations of agricultural tradition, L53 Family Estates represents a commitment to quality, sustainability and the enduring craft of Nicaraguan coffee production. Through thoughtful farm management, selective harvesting and meticulous washed processing, producer Francisco Lacayo and his team consistently produce coffees that reflect both the character of the land and the care behind every harvest.

The estate sits in Nueva Segovia between 1,350 and 1,650 metres, growing Caturra, Catuai and Bourbon. L53 brings a traceable, dependable Strictly High Grown lot that delivers exceptional consistency year after year. For the 2026 harvest, Barista Plus selected two containers of this regional lot for its balanced profile and versatility across a wide range of roast styles.

The result is a coffee with a smooth body, bright yet balanced citric acidity, and a clean, refined finish. It is the safest recommendation we make, in the best sense — and it does quiet, essential work inside Barista Choice, Breakfast Blend, Cold Brew Blend and our Espresso.
