Introduction to the characteristics of Nicaraguan coffee varieties, taste and flavor of high-quality coffee beans

Columbus arrived here in 1502 and reached the east coast of Nicaragua. In 1522, Spanish colonists began to conquer the region. The cities of Granada and Leon were founded in 1524. From then on, Nicaragua became a Spanish colony and came under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Office of Guatemala. The city of Leon developed into a political and cultural center; Granada became a commercial and agricultural center. In the later period of colonial rule, the economy of the big manor developed to a certain extent, and vegetable cattle, cocoa and indigo became the main products. It was colonized by Spain in 1525. In the middle of the 17th century, Britain occupied the Mosquito coast and declared it a British protectorate. It was not until the signing of the London Agreement with Spain in 1786 that Managua, the capital of Nicaragua, was temporarily evacuated from Managua, which is located on the south bank of Lake Managua in the west of the border, hence its name. The northwest is 140 kilometers away from the Collinto seaport on the Pacific coast. 55 meters above sea level. It is a Spanish city with beautiful scenery. Because it is located on the east side of the Pacific volcanic active seismic belt, there have been four strong earthquakes in the city in the past 100 years, one of which caused the worst damage to the city in December 1972. The rebuilt Managua has taken many important measures in reducing population density, moving large enterprises to other places and improving the earthquake-proof capacity of buildings. The word Managua comes from the Indian Naval language, and its meaning has two interpretations, one is "Mexican place", and the other is "waterside". About 10,000 years ago, there were human activities on the shores of Lake Managua, and the remains of ancient human activities can be seen from the Acorink site. As a result of natural disasters such as earthquakes, residents have moved many times. When the Spaniards conquered Nicaragua in the early 16th century, it was still an important Indian village. It became a city in 1846. It was designated as the capital of the Republic in 1852. From then on, it became the political center of the country.

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. The coffee planting ecology of Nicaragua has a unique environment, spread all over the fertile volcanic soil, coupled with shading planting methods, has established a good growth physique, so that Nicaraguan beans not only have rich mellow but also fragrant taste, in the eyes of international coffee experts as high-quality, and gradually attracted the attention of the boutique industry.

Madriz is an ecological coffee with a very hard shell. In the pure natural planting environment, it uses more complex operations to maintain the delicate aroma and taste of the coffee; it is produced in northern Nicaragua between Matagalpa and Jinotega, with an average annual rainfall of 1500-1700mm and a temperature of 20-29 degrees Celsius. All the coffee is selected manually, and the labor and time cost is much higher than that of ordinary beans.

People of mixed Indo-European race account for 69% of the Nicaraguan population. The official language is Spanish. Most of the residents are Catholic.

In 1522, Spain began to colonize Nicaragua. On September 15, 1821, Nicaragua got rid of the Spanish colonial shackles and declared its independence. From 1822 to 1823, Nicaragua joined the Mexican Empire. In 1839, Nicaragua established a republic.

Nicaragua is an economically backward agricultural country with a high unemployment rate and people living in poverty. Nicaragua maintains so-called "diplomatic relations" with the Taiwan authorities.

Lake Nicaragua

Lake Nicaragua is the largest lake in Central America, located in southwestern Nicaragua. The local Indians call it Lake Corsi Walka, which means "freshwater sea". Lake Nicaragua is 160km long, with an average width of 60km and an area of 8264 square kilometers. Tens of thousands of years ago, Lake Nicaragua was an bay of the Pacific Ocean, cut off from the sea by volcanic eruptions. With the passing of the sun and the moon, the lake gradually diluted and became a freshwater lake. The marine fish that live in the lake also adapt to the desalination of the water and survive. At the beginning of the 21st century, there are still thousands of sharks, swordfish, silver carp and other marine fish in the lake. It is said that Lake Nicaragua is the only freshwater lake in the world that breeds marine fish.

At the beginning of the 21st century, there is a 19-kilometer isthmus connecting the Pacific Ocean and Lake Nicaragua. The water depth in the isthmus varies from 23 meters to 70 meters. The lake flows into the Caribbean through the San Juan River. The Tipitapa River connects with Lake Managua in the northwest.

Lake Nicaragua has more than 300 islands, the smallest of which is only a few hundred square meters. The largest island is Ometepe, which is 26 kilometers long and 13 kilometers wide and covers an area of more than 300 square kilometers. There are two volcanic cones on the island, one of which is 1610 meters high. The island also has many historical relics of Mayan culture.
