The elephant bean is a variant that extends from Tibica. The elephant bean, which is planted at a height of 700-800 meters, has an ordinary taste, has no characteristics, and is rejected by some gluttons. However, growing Matagalpa elephant beans at more than 1000 meters is very different.

Planted above 1000 meters, it has a soft and charming flavor, mild and stable taste, sour and slightly bitter sweet taste, especially full-bodied fruit aroma and smooth taste, which is very close to the elegant Blue Mountain Coffee beans, sweet in sour and full-bodied with Body.

The taste of Matagalpa giant elephant beans is similar to that of Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee beans, but the price is only about 2 picks of Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee beans, and the C / P value is very high.

But Matagalpa giant elephant beans, his baking needs a little skill! Because this coffee bean is about three times the size of the average Arabica bean, it takes a little skill to master the heat penetration. The fire is too big, it seems that the surface color should be able to put beans, but the interior may not be fully cooked, causing astringency to drink, or baking for too long may cause overcharring and losing the flavor of the Blue Mountains.

In fact, the number of Matagalpa giant elephant beans is not large every year. At present, only Mexico, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador and Brazil grow a small amount of beans, and the trade volume is small.

Matagalpa giant elephant beans, which are rare and precious, are not kidnapped by futures prices.

The main reason for his small trade volume is that his growth conditions are harsh, because he has to plant more than 1000 meters in order to have a good flavor, and second, he grows in the shade, and the ripening period is long, and he has to concentrate nutrients on a small number of coffee cherries. Beans grow big and taste good, so the amount of cherry coffee that a coffee tree can produce is actually very limited. With such stringent conditions, there are fewer trade volume and producing countries! However, his trading price is also maintained at a good price because of the limited output and the scarcity of goods.
