Famous representative coffee: Maragogipe
Coffee in Nicaragua is grown mainly in the central and northern regions and is characterized by shade cultivation. Coffee beans are washed and dried in the sun.
Generally speaking, Nicaragua coffee is not very distinctive, ordinary Nicaraguan beans are often used for mixed coffee or instant coffee.
However, Nicaragua's Maragogipe (a tree species called elephant bean) is highly rated in the industry because it has a balanced taste, no bright fruit acids often associated with other Central American coffees, and has a clear taste and excellent aroma. This round and soft texture also makes it unique in the moderate evaluation of Nicaragua coffee and is loved by many people.
