Nicaragua Coffee Overview

Nicaragua is primarily divided into four major growing regions: Segovias, Matagalpa/Jinotega, Boaco, and 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.

Nicaraguan coffee features deep, low-toned flavors with chocolate and caramel sweetness, prominent almond notes, and bright acidity. Unlike the typical bright, fruity acidic profile common in Central American coffees, Nicaragua's coffee growing ecosystem benefits from uniquely favorable conditions with fertile volcanic soil throughout. Combined with shade-growing practices, this establishes excellent growing conditions, making Nicaraguan beans not only rich in body but also aromatic. In the eyes of international coffee experts, these are considered premium qualities, gradually gaining recognition in the specialty coffee world.

Maragogype Variety

Maragogype, also known as Elephant Bean, is 3 times or even larger than other coffee beans. Its taxonomic name is Maragogype, originating from the Maragogype county in Bahia state, Brazil. In 1870, this county first established the taxonomic status of this giant coffee bean, which is an Arabica derivative (hybrid variety).

The flavor is full-bodied, featuring both bright stone fruit acidity and rich spice sweetness. With diverse taste variations including apricot, vanilla, mint chocolate, pineapple, citrus, and caramel sweetness, it truly deserves to be called an exceptional coffee bean!
