Nicaragua Coffee Region Overview

Nicaragua is primarily divided into four major coffee-producing regions: the Segovias region, the Matagalpa/Jinotega region, the Boaco region, and the Pacific Coast region. The Segovias region has the highest cultivation altitude at approximately 1,500-2,000 meters, producing the highest grade SHG (Strictly High Grown) coffee.

The abundant volcanic ash and shade-grown cultivation methods produce high-quality Nicaraguan coffee with mild, gentle flavors and slight acidity. Nicaraguan coffee beans are among the largest of all coffee varieties. MADRIZ is located in the mountainous northern region of Nicaragua, bordering Nueva Segovia, Jinotega, and Esteli. This region is peaceful and elegant, featuring the famous Somoto Canyon. The local population consists mainly of indigenous people from various tribes and those of mixed Spanish colonial heritage (predominantly Chorotegas). The region is known for coffee production, artistic and handicraft processing trades, and traditional delicious cuisine. Madriz is characterized by its cool climate, and its small towns feature seemingly simple yet beautiful houses with distinctive tiled white architecture. The area also hosts numerous coffee plantations, with mountains covered in lush pine and oak forests.

Although the region has not yet been widely explored by tourists, Madriz boasts various interesting attractions, including special geological formations, rock paintings, ancient colonial sites, and high-quality handicrafts developed from different materials. The capital of Madriz is the small city of Somoto. Somoto has an active ancient parish church situated in the city center (the church still maintains artifacts and architectural structures from the colonial era dating back to 1661).

Honey Process Explained

"Miel" means 'honey' in Spanish. The honey process (Miel Process) refers to the method of transforming coffee cherries into green beans, ultimately allowing the coffee to taste as sweet and memorable as honey. Originally called "Pulp Natural," this process involves sun-drying while retaining the mucilage layer. After removing the outer fruit pulp from the coffee cherries, a sticky, gelatinous substance remains on the green beans. Unlike the washed process, which removes this layer with water, the honey process makes drying more challenging. Therefore, careful monitoring and frequent turning are required throughout the process to avoid undesirable fermentation flavors.
