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, distinct almond notes, and bright acidity. This differs from the typically bright, fruit-forward acidic profile common in Central American coffees. Nicaragua's coffee growing ecosystem benefits from unique environmental conditions, with fertile volcanic soil widespread throughout the region. Combined with shade-grown cultivation methods, this establishes excellent growing conditions, making Nicaraguan beans not only rich in body but also aromatic. In the eyes of international coffee connoisseurs, these beans are considered premium quality and gradually gaining recognition in the specialty coffee community.

Maragogipe Variety

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