Introduction to the characteristics of Nicaraguan Coffee

Coffee farmers are more accustomed to using water washing to ensure that the flavor of raw coffee beans is more stable and clean. it was not until about 2009 that the traditional concept of coffee farmers changed and began to try a suitable climate for processing methods such as full sun and honey treatment in more areas. it provides a good growing environment for coffee cultivation. The mineral-rich pozzolanic soil provides abundant nutrients for the cultivation of coffee trees. High-quality Nicaraguan coffee is also grown in the northern and central highlands of the country. The best coffee is produced in Matagalpa. The coffee produced here is highly respected by coffee lovers all over the world and gradually valued by the boutique community. Abundant precipitation, suitable temperature, high altitude, fertile soil, and unique planting ecology are the prerequisites for creating high-quality Nicaraguan coffee. Nicaragua has a low flavor, chocolate, caramel sweetness, obvious almond flavor and bright sour taste, which is different from the rising tone of bright fruit acid in Central America.
