# ONA Coffee — El Avión, Nicaragua, Washed [Coffee List](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/ona-coffee/el-avion-nicaragua-washed) Last updated: 2026-11-05T04:26:15.494Z [ONA Coffee](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/ona-coffee) No longer available El Avión takes its name – "the plane" – from its site in Mozonte, Nueva Segovia, in Nicaragua's northern highlands near the Honduran border, an area of cloud-covered hills that sits among the country's highest coffee-growing elevations. Before 2006 the land was pine forestry rather than coffee; when timber production declined, the Gonzales family began planting coffee beneath the remaining stands of large conifers, whose shade and fallen needle cover still help regulate moisture and temperature for the crop today. Mario Gonzalez has run the operation with his family for well over a decade, working alongside his son-in-law, an agronomist, to refine the farm's agronomy and processing. The farm produces washed, natural, and carbonic-maceration lots side by side to showcase different expressions of its fruit, and has been recognised at a national level – a lot from the same farm placed first in Nicaragua's 2022 Cup of Excellence. Project Origin's Nicaraguan partner Bridazul has worked directly with El Avión since 2019 to develop processing technique and quality control on site, part of Project Origin's broader relationship with Nicaraguan producers dating to 2016. -
