Nicaragua Coffee Overview

For professional barista communication, please follow Coffee House (WeChat public account: cafe_style).

Nicaragua is primarily divided into four major growing 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.

Nicaraguan coffee features deep, rich flavors with chocolate and caramel sweetness, distinct almond notes, and bright acidity. Unlike the typically bright, uplifting fruit acidity common in Central American coffees, Nicaragua's coffee-growing ecosystem benefits from a uniquely privileged environment with fertile volcanic soil throughout. Combined with shade-grown cultivation methods, this establishes excellent growing conditions, making Nicaraguan beans not only rich in body but also possessing aromatic qualities. In the eyes of international coffee experts, these are considered premium beans, gradually gaining recognition in the specialty coffee world.

Elephant Beans (Maragogype)

Elephant beans (Maragogype) are giant coffee beans that are three times or even larger than other coffee beans. Their taxonomic name is Maragogype, originating from the Maragogype county in Bahia state, Brazil. In 1870, this county first established the taxonomic classification of these giant coffee beans. They are an Arabica derivative (hybrid variety).

The flavor profile is full-bodied, featuring both bright stone fruit acidity and rich spice sweetness, with diverse taste changes including apricot, vanilla, mint chocolate, pineapple, citrus, and caramel sweetness. Truly worthy of being called an exceptional bean!
