Miel, in Spanish, means "honey." The Honey Process refers to the method of turning coffee cherries into green beans, ultimately making the coffee as memorable as sweet honey. The Honey Process, originally called "Pulp Natural," means sun-drying with the mucilage intact. After removing the outer fruit pulp from coffee cherries, a layer of sticky gelatinous substance remains on the green beans. Unlike the washed process, which uses water to wash this away, it is more difficult to dry during the sun-drying process. Therefore, strict control and 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 Pacific Coast. 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, gentle flavors and slight acidity. Nicaraguan coffee beans are among the largest of all coffee beans. MADRIZ is located in the mountainous region of northern Nicaragua, bordering Nueva Segovia, Jinotega, and Esteli. This region 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 from the colonial period (mostly Chorotegas). The area produces coffee, develops arts and crafts processing trade, and has 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 region also has many coffee plantations, with mountains covered in lush pine and oak forests.
