Nicaragua is located in central Central America, bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Caribbean Sea to the east. The highlands in the north and the coastal plains in the east are part of the Central American volcanic belt. The eastern plain is high-temperature and rainy, with a tropical maritime climate. The suitable climate provides an excellent growth environment for the cultivation of coffee.

High-quality Nicaraguan coffee, grown in the north and middle of the country. Coffee is a pillar industry in Nicaragua, producing nearly 100,000 tons of coffee beans every year. Many people who have tasted Nicaraguan coffee usually think that it is no different from Salvadoran coffee or Honduran coffee. It is full-bodied, smooth and delicate, with a slightly bitter finish, like a faint taste in a wine.

In many countries, coffee production will be seriously affected for political reasons. Nicaraguan coffee industry is no exception. The 1979 revolution forced coffee planters to flee to Miami. A period of indecision followed, when the government considered whether to redistribute land, including many plantations, which led to a shortage of coffee and a decline in production, from more than 1 million bags in the early 1970s to less than 600000 bags in 1990. Now the Government has opened up the coffee industry and private owners have taken control of the market. The best coffee is produced in Sinotega and Novo Segovia in Matagalpa. It has moderate acidity, delicious aroma and is very lovely.
