Our Nicaragua Matagalpa SHG coffee beans are sourced from the Esteli Estate in the Matagalpa region of Nicaragua, where the altitude ranges from 950 to 1200 meters above sea level. This high-grown (SHG) coffee is a blend of Caturra, Parainema, Catimore, and Catuai varietals, and is both washed and patio-dried to ensure a consistent and high-quality flavor. With tasting notes of chocolate, date, pear, delicate acidity, and a smooth body, this coffee is perfect for anyone looking for a delicious and well-rounded cup of coffee.

Nicaragua Sagrada Familia SHG EP comes to us from Matagalpa, Nicaragua. This mountainous region allows coffee to be cultivated at 950-1,200 meters above sea level. In addition to the moist microclimate, higher elevation means cooler night temperatures, which slows cherry maturation producing more desirable flavors in the bean.
Nicaragua Sagrada Familia SHG EP is the work of 85 small holder producers who are members of Cooperativa Agropecuaria Multisectorial Sagrada Familia R.L. The cooperative harvests their cherry in November and sorts out under ripe and defective coffee using flotation. The cherry is then machine pulped and subsequently washed. Finally, the parchment dries on patios for 6 days.
