FrontStreet Coffee - Nicaragua Buenos Aires Estate Maracaturra Variety Introduction

Nicaragua's coffee cultivation and production benefits from exceptionally favorable conditions, with abundant fertile volcanic ash soil and shaded cultivation methods that establish excellent production quality. Coffee from this region features rich body and delicate fragrance, with moderate acidity and an excellent balance of aftertaste and bitterness, regarded as premium by international coffee connoisseurs. The widespread volcanic ash and shade-grown cultivation methods produce high-quality Nicaraguan coffee with mellow and gentle flavors and subtle acidity. Nicaraguan coffee beans are among the largest of all coffee varieties.

Among Arabica coffee varieties, there are hundreds of subspecies we call cultivars, each possessing unique qualities in flavor, size, color, productivity, and disease resistance. Maracaturra is a hybrid variety resulting from crossing Caturra (known for productivity and balanced flavor) with "Elephant Bean" (Maragogype, renowned for premium quality). It is commonly found in coffee-growing regions of Nicaragua and El Salvador.

"Elephant beans have large particles and relatively balanced flavors, lacking the distinct fruit acidity common in other Central American coffees, but featuring clear mouthfeel, excellent aroma, and a rounded, gentle texture. However, their drawback is low yield. Crossing them with Caturra aims to improve coffee bean productivity and quality. Beyond their striking bean shape, Maracaturra coffee beans possess an equally unforgettable complex flavor profile.
