Nicaragua
Known as the land of ‘lagos y volcanes’ (lakes and volcanoes), Nicaragua is the largest country in Central America. This thinly populated nation has faced many challenges in the last decades, from political instability to civil war and natural disasters.
Although the country’s coffee industry suffered from this background, coffee remains its primary export. Coffee production supports some 40,000 farmers and their families, of which around 95% are smallholders. Today, Nicaraguan coffees are stepping up. Traceability levels are high, and Nicaragua is unveiling its potential as a specialty coffee origin as quality improves.
Harvest Season: October - April
