The best Nicaraguan coffee in our catalog
Nicaraguan coffee is a staple of our catalog, and we currently have 20 distinct lots available for you to explore. The selection is heavily defined by washed processing, which accounts for 13 of these offerings, though we also feature four naturals and one anaerobic natural for those seeking more experimental profiles. You will find familiar varieties like Catuai, Caturra, and Bourbon anchoring the list, alongside rare finds like Geisha. The majority of these beans originate from the high-altitude regions of Nueva Segovia and Matagalpa. We have curated these picks based on our composite scoring system, featuring consistent work from roasters like Five Senses Coffee and Stone Street Coffee. Whether you prefer a classic washed cup or a complex natural, these selections represent the current standard of Nicaraguan production.
What to taste for:Look for a balanced cup featuring clean acidity, notes of brown sugar, and a smooth, nutty finish typical of the region.
