Nicaragua Coffee Regions

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

The widespread volcanic ash and shade-grown cultivation methods produce high-quality Nicaraguan coffee with mild, smooth flavors and subtle acidity. Nicaraguan coffee beans are among the larger-sized coffee beans. MADRIZ is located in the mountainous northern region of Nicaragua, bordering Nueva Segovia, Jinotega, and Esteli. This area is tranquil and elegant, featuring the famous Somoto Canyon. The local population consists mainly of various indigenous tribes and people of mixed Spanish colonial heritage (predominantly Chorotegas). The region produces coffee, develops arts and handicraft processing trade, and offers traditional delicious cuisine. Madriz is characterized by its cool climate, with seemingly simple small towns featuring beautiful house rooftops and distinctive white buildings with special tiles. The area also has many coffee plantations, with mountains covered in lush pine and oak forests.

Although the region has not yet been extensively 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 located in the city center (the church still preserves artifacts and architectural structures from the colonial era since 1661).

Nicaragua Honey Process Red Bourbon

Country: Nicaragua

Region: La Sabana, Madriz

Altitude: 1400-1450m

Harvest Period: December to March

Processing Method: Honey Process

"Miel" means 'honey' in Spanish. The honey process (Miel Process) refers to the method of converting coffee cherries into green beans, ultimately making the coffee memorable like sweet honey. Originally called "Pulp Natural," it means drying with the mucilage still attached. After removing the outer pulp and skin from the coffee cherry, a layer of viscous gelatinous substance remains on the green bean. Unlike the washed process, which uses water to wash this away, it's more difficult to dry during the sun-drying process. Therefore, careful control and turning are required throughout the entire process to avoid undesirable fermentation flavors.
