The local economy relies a lot on coffee production, pushing for constant improvements in Nicaragua’s coffee growing regions along with better processing stations that make beans from this origin comparable to the high quality coffees from neighbouring country Costa Rica.

If you’re used to Central American coffees such as from El Salvador or Honduras you’ll find both relatively milder coffees compared to the most recent Nicaragua harvests.

One particularly great region for coffee in Nicaragua is the San Juan Del Rio Coco region. It is from the excellent farm La Guadalupana in this region that Portfolio sources its Nicaraguan coffee. These beans produce a drink that is nutty with floral tasting notes, creamy, has medium acidity, and long aftertaste.

Most coffee from this country have a distinguished aroma of sweet caramel, citrus, and chocolate elements, while the coffee itself can have a very pleasant and balanced flavour. Specific flavours can vary from mild fruitiness, citrus, and floral, to hints of chocolate with a toasty or nutty finish.

An overwhelming majority of 95% of all coffee produced in Nicaragua is considered shade-grown which is is a form of the crop produced from coffee plants grown under a canopy of trees. Coffee plants naturally grow and thrive in the shade as it usually means it’s been grown in its natural setting.

Another characteristic of Nicaraguan coffee is that it is grown at altitudes between 3600 and 5250 feet above sea level. Though there are some lower regions as well, most Nicaraguan coffee is classified as “high grown” and meets the Strictly High Grown coffee specifications.

Harvesting usually happens between the months of October and February or March. While wet washing is the most popular way to process Nicaraguan beans, others are being used as well.
