Nicaragua’s specialty coffee grows in Jinotega, Matagalpa, and Nueva Segovia, at altitudes that push up to 1,700 metres. The country has a long coffee history and a shorter specialty one, shaped by the ups and downs of regional politics and weather that doesn’t always cooperate.

What makes it through the supply chain tends to be worth the wait. The cup leans cocoa, caramel, and stone fruit — softer than Guatemalan, with a gentler acidity. Caturra and Pacamara are common, the latter producing the kind of thick, sweet, tropical cup that specialty buyers hunt for.

Nicaragua doesn’t get the attention its neighbours do. The specialty drinkers who seek it out tend not to be disappointed.

Nicaraguaanse specialty coffee groeit in Jinotega, Matagalpa en Nueva Segovia, op hoogtes die tot 1.700 meter reiken. Het land heeft een lange koffiegeschiedenis en een kortere specialty-geschiedenis, gevormd door de pieken en dalen van regionale politiek en weer dat niet altijd meewerkt.

Wat het door de toeleveringsketen haalt is meestal de wachttijd waard. De kop neigt naar cacao, karamel en steenfruit — zachter dan een Guatemalteek, met een mildere zuren. Caturra en Pacamara komen veel voor; de laatste produceert het soort dikke, zoete, tropische kop waar specialty-inkopers op jagen.

Nicaragua krijgt niet de aandacht die zijn buren krijgen. De specialty-drinkers die hem opzoeken raken meestal niet teleurgesteld.

Nicaraguas Specialty Coffee wächst in Jinotega, Matagalpa und Nueva Segovia, in Höhen, die bis 1.700 Meter reichen. Das Land hat eine lange Kaffeegeschichte und eine kürzere Specialty-Geschichte, geformt von den Hochs und Tiefs regionaler Politik und Wetter, das nicht immer mitspielt.

Was es durch die Lieferkette schafft, ist meist das Warten wert. Die Tasse neigt zu Kakao, Karamell und Steinobst — weicher als ein Guatemalteke, mit milderer Säure. Caturra und Pacamara sind verbreitet; letzterer ergibt die dicke, süße, tropische Tasse, nach der Specialty-Einkäufer jagen.

Nicaragua bekommt nicht die Aufmerksamkeit seiner Nachbarn. Die Specialty-Trinker, die ihn aufsuchen, werden meist nicht enttäuscht.
