A Central American origin with diverse growing regions and rising quality.

Nicaragua produces coffee across volcanic highlands from Jinotega, Matagalpa, and Nueva Segovia at 1100-1500 meters. Known for balanced cups with chocolate, citrus, and honey sweetness, Nicaraguan coffees have gained specialty traction through improved processing and direct trade relationships. Both washed and natural lots perform well, with Maragogype (elephant bean) a notable local varietal.
