Nicaragua Honey Process Red Bourbon

Country: Nicaragua

Region: La Sabana, Madriz

Altitude: 1400-1450m

Harvest Period: December to March

Processing Method: Honey Process

Miel, meaning "honey" in Spanish, refers to the Honey Process, which transforms coffee cherries into green beans in a manner that leaves the coffee with an unforgettable honey-like sweetness. Originally known as "Pulp Natural," this method involves sun-drying the beans while retaining their mucilage layer. After removing the outer fruit flesh, the green beans retain a viscous, gelatinous substance. Unlike the washed process that removes this layer with water, the honey process makes drying more challenging. Therefore, careful monitoring and constant turning are required throughout the drying process to prevent undesirable fermentation flavors.

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

Abundant volcanic ash and shade-grown cultivation methods produce high-quality Nicaraguan coffee with mild, gentle flavors and subtle acidity. Nicaraguan coffee beans are among the larger varieties in size. MADRIZ is located in the mountainous northern region of Nicaragua, bordering Nueva Segovia, Jinotega, and Esteli. This peaceful and elegant area features the famous Somoto Canyon. The local population consists mainly of various indigenous tribes and people of mixed Spanish and indigenous heritage (predominantly Chorotegas). The region produces coffee, develops artistic and handicraft processing trades, and maintains traditional gourmet cuisine. Madriz is characterized by a cool climate, with seemingly simple small towns distinguished by beautiful house roofs and white buildings with special tiles. The area also features numerous coffee plantations and mountainous regions covered with lush pine and oak forests.

Although the region has not been extensively explored by tourists, Madriz offers 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 features an active historic parish church in the city center (the church still maintains artifacts and architectural structures preserved from the colonial era since 1661).
