Nicaragua Coffee Overview

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.

Nicaraguan coffee features deep, low-toned flavors with chocolate and caramel sweetness, distinct almond notes, and bright acidity—different from the typically bright, fruity acidic profile common in Central American coffees. Nicaragua's coffee growing environment offers unique advantages, with fertile volcanic soil throughout and shade-growing cultivation methods that establish excellent growing conditions. This makes Nicaraguan beans not only rich in body but also fragrant, regarded as premium by international coffee connoisseurs and gradually gaining recognition in the specialty coffee community.

Maragogype (Elephant Bean)

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

It offers full-bodied flavor with both bright stone fruit acidity and rich spice sweetness, featuring diverse taste variations including apricot, vanilla, mint chocolate, pineapple, citrus, and caramel sweetness—truly deserving of its reputation as an exceptional coffee bean!
