Processing Method: Honey Process

Miel means 'honey' in Spanish. The Honey Process refers to the method of processing coffee cherries into green beans, resulting in coffee that is as sweet and memorable as honey. Originally called "Pulp Natural," this process means sun-drying with the mucilage intact. After removing the outer fruit pulp from the coffee cherry, the green beans retain a layer of viscous gelatinous substance. Unlike the washed process which removes this with water, the honey process takes longer to dry during sun exposure. Therefore, careful control and constant turning are required throughout the process to avoid undesirable fermentation flavors.

Nicaragua Coffee Regions

Nicaragua is mainly divided into four major 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 varieties. MADRIZ is located in the mountainous region of northern Nicaragua, bordering Nueva Segovia, Jinotega, and Esteli. This area is peaceful and elegant, featuring 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 arts and crafts processing trade, and maintains traditional delicious cuisine. Madriz is characterized by a cool climate, with seemingly simple small towns featuring beautiful house roofs and distinctive white buildings with special tiles. The area also has many coffee plantations, with mountains covered in lush pine and oak forests.

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