Cristo Rey is grown at the foot of the Mountain of Peace Shrine in Matagalpa, Nicaragua — on land consecrated by the Bishops of Central America to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The Guadalupe Gold Farm was founded in 2014 by the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, with a commitment to sustainable farming, fair wages, and a cup that reflects the care with which it’s grown.
Top 3% specialty-grade Nicaraguan Arabica. Shade-grown at 1,000–1,400 meters under a forest canopy using traditional farming methods. Rich chocolate depth, bright orange citrus, smooth naturally sweet finish, medium body, vibrant acidity. This is coffee with a provenance worth knowing.
Available in whole bean or ground, 12oz or 5lb.

Cristo Rey sits alongside Coffee of the Cross as a Guadalupe Gold Farm single-origin — the distinction is the shade-grown, traditional-methods provenance and the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal founding story. A good gift for anyone drawn to mission-driven sourcing or Nicaraguan specialty coffee with documented origin.
