Selva Negra Estate Coffee, Matagalpa, Nicaragua

Due to economic conditions and increase in many costs associated with the tour, we have had to make a few adjustments in order to keep coffee prices as low as possible for our customers while still paying the farmers/workers a fair and just wage.

New Guidelines for 2009.

$100 non refundable deposit for all attendees.
Beanealogy customers purchasing more than 1800lbs per year only pay the $100 deposit per person (up to 2 people) - $100 total plus airfare.
Beanealogy customers purchasing more than 900lbs per year only pay an additional $150 per person (up to 2 people) - $250 total plus airfare
Beanealogy customers purchasing between 150 – 900lbs per year pay an additional $300 per person (up to 2 people) - $400 total plus airfare
Any coffee lover that wants to go be part of the tour is invited for $500 per person plus airfare.

If you are a customer but have not purchased the coffee yet this year, you will pay the full amount, and we will credit back the difference on your last coffee order of 2009.

Interested - Drop us an email at heddy@beanealogy.com and we'll keep you posted as folks sign up and last minute trip details finalize.
