In my impression of the earth, there are two triangles tied together by a thin rope, which is Central America. There are seven countries in Central America, including Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama, each of which is rich in coffee beans. Guatemala, Costa Rica and Honduras are among the top ten coffee producers in the world.

I have the honor to visit Nicaragua and Costa Rica. Although I do not have the prosperity and convenience of Taiwan, I yearn for the character of the people of Lotte. I drove six or seven hours to my friend's manor, which is located on the border between Nicaragua and Honduras and the provinces of Madriz, Esteli, Jinotega and Nueva Segovia. It is about 900m above sea level. This mountain looks at that mountain, and one mountain is higher than the other. The only thing we have in common is the big landlord. Unfortunately, the land is worthless. The land of more than 1000 ping is equivalent to about NT $20,000. Those who are interested can give it a try. There is unlimited room for value-added and unlimited time for value-added.

Coffee Mountain

Looking at a mountain, coffee grows silently here.

If you want to take a bus, practice your kung fu first.

There are few buses a day, and there is no such thing as queuing. "if you want to practice your divine skills, you don't have to go to the palace. If you get here, you will succeed." This bus drove all the way from Jalapa, 60 kilometers away. Without magical skills, I don't think it fell into that valley long ago.

Coffee is harvested from October to February of the following year. Ripe coffee beans are harvested manually, peeled, fleshed, sorted, exposed and dehydrated in a sink, then sent to nearby cooperatives for screening and exposure, and bagged and distributed when the water content is about 12%. In recent years, some manors have been tutored to sell independently, ensuring quality and selling high-quality goods, which is good for consumers, but they always have to spend more money. In fact, there is not much improvement in the livelihood of coffee farmers.

Nicaraguan coffee, mediocre and mild flavor, slightly sour, suitable for comprehensive coffee. Nicaraguan coffee is the largest of all coffee beans, among which the giant beans produced by Matagalpa are the most distinctive. This kind of giant bean particles are larger than ordinary coffee beans, commonly known as elephant beans, with a distinctive special flavor, but also with the round texture of Maragogipe coffee, its sister product Matagalpa contains wild acidity and indescribable aroma.

After baking and tasting Nicaraguan coffee beans, they will feel as tipsy as alcohol, which is suitable for those who first taste it, and it is also suitable to be used as the base of Italian coffee. It is soft and sweet, but it will not take away the elegant demeanour of other coffee beans.

If you have the opportunity to take a walk to Nicaragua, you can have a look at the peaceful scenery and humanities there, and you will have a different life experience.
