Nicaragua Coffee Overview

Nicaragua is primarily divided into four major 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.

Nicaraguan coffee features deep, low-toned flavors with chocolate and caramel sweetness, prominent almond notes, and bright acidity. This differs from the typical bright, uplifting fruit acidity found in Central American coffees. Nicaragua's coffee-growing ecosystem enjoys uniquely favorable conditions, with fertile volcanic soil and shade-grown cultivation methods that establish excellent growing conditions. This enables Nicaraguan beans to possess both rich body and aromatic flavors, regarded as premium by international coffee connoisseurs and gradually gaining recognition in the specialty coffee world.

Maragogype Variety

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

It offers full-bodied flavor with both bright stone fruit acidity and rich spicy sweetness. Diverse flavor variations include apricot, vanilla, mint chocolate, pineapple, citrus, and caramel sweetness—truly an exceptional coffee bean!
