De Palo Coffee

De Palo Coffee welcomes you to specialty coffees from around the world. Mostly from Central America, with our focus in Nicaragua.

When visiting someone in Nicaragua, a cup of coffee is usually served. When you ask, ‘Where is the coffee from?’ Most commonly where our family is from the answer would be, ‘Es cafe de palo.’ It’s coffee from the tree. This means to us that they have grown the coffee themselves from planting the seeds or baby coffee trees to taking care of it until they pick it by hand and process it themselves. Usually roasted over a fire in small quantities and enjoyed fresh all day long.

My wife, Amanda, is from the Jalapa, Nueva Segovia, Nicaragua region. Her family has been growing coffee for generations.

We are a small family operation, Amanda and Dennis running the roastery and US operations along with our family and friends in Nicaragua, growing, picking, processing (mostly washed but some naturals), getting the coffee ready for export. Our export and import partners allow us a larger variety of coffee from other farmers from around our region and the world. Coffees from our friends and family are directly sourced with interest free microloans and profit sharing. Coffees are harvested during December to the beginning of March every year in our region of Nicaragua. This limits our source to what is available every year but we do our best and have been trying to keep enough variety of coffee to last until next harvest.
