Nicaragua Coffee

Nicaragua has the distinction of producing the largest coffee beans in the word. Its Maragogype beans are simply enormous, especially when they are a third larger after roasting. Unfortunately, biggest is not always best, and Nicaragua's coffees in general are fairly nondescript, and are mostly hidden away in blends. The main coffees (besides the freakish Maragogypes) are Jinotega (grown up to 1,650 meters) and Matagalpa (up to 1,000 meters) both named after the regions of highest altitude. The classifications are the normal sort of Central American titles: "Low Grown", "Medium Grown", "High Grown" and "Strictly High Grown". The general cup characteristics include light body, pleasant flavor and low-to-medium acidity.
