Nicaragua

Nicaraguan coffees have a wide range of flavor attributes. Some cup like Mexican coffees from Oaxaca, others have a more pronounced acidity. Some are mildly citrusy and bright, such as the coffees of Dipilto in the Nueva Segovia department. The botanical cultivars utilized are traditional — Typica, some Bourbon and Maragogype dominate, along with Caturra and Pacas. There is some of the less desirable Catimor varietal, but many farms removed it after the "Catimor craze" 10 to 20 years ago. Read more in our Coffee Library.
