NICARAGUA

MATAGALPA & JINOTEGA GREEN COFFEE BEANS

CLASSIC

We think Nicaragua deserves more attention than it gets. Grown on high-altitude volcanic terrain across two of the country's finest regions, these raw and unroasted Matagalpa & Jinotega beans are fully washed, producing a smooth, chocolatey roast profile. They're about as forgiving as green coffee beans get. Expect dark chocolate, cedar, and warm spice - and a profile that works at almost any roast level.

RECOMMENDED ROAST

We like to roast this medium. Nicaragua has the rare quality of tasting good across a wide range - but this is where the malt and chocolate balance lands best without losing the gentle spice in the finish.

THE WHY

Nicaragua is one of specialty coffee's best-kept secrets. Consistently less acidic than Costa Rica or Guatemala, with a natural chocolatey warmth and low-key complexity that makes it one of the most forgiving origins a home roaster can work with. It's the kind of bean that makes you look good without demanding much - and that's rarer than it sounds.

Weekday mornings that deserve better than average.
