Nicaragua Maracaturra

This Maracaturra from Dipilto, Nueva Segovia, showcases the unique character of the large-bean cultivar with a SHG grade reflecting its high quality and exceptional clarity. Grown at mid-altitude and dry-processed naturally, this coffee offers fruit-forward complexity, rustic sweetness, and lively, balanced acidity. Micro-roasted with care, it highlights the heritage and bold personality of the Maracaturra varietal.

Bright and fruited notes dominate the cup, including dried strawberry, apricot, and subtle berry kombucha nuances. Natural processing enhances body and sweetness, while fermented hints, fruit shrub impressions, and tannic qualities add depth and a slightly rustic, tea-like finish.

The Farmer Details
Sourced from the Buenos Aires farm in Dipilto, Nueva Segovia, Nicaragua, this lot benefits from mid-altitude growing at roughly 1,200 meters. The Maracaturra cultivar, a cross of Caturra and Maragogype (“Elephant Bean”), produces large, dense beans that develop complexity when roasted carefully. Cherries are sun-dried naturally on raised beds under shade for 20–25 days, producing a fruit-forward cup with syrupy body and rustic sweetness. Careful attention at each step ensures clarity, balanced acidity, and the signature fermented and berry-forward notes.

Roast Levels & Flavor Profiles

Medium Roast — Fuller body with concentrated fruit-forward character, showcasing dried berry, stone fruit, and fruit shrub impressions. Rustic fermented tones and tannic qualities round out the cup for a layered, slightly complex finish.
