About This Coffee

Maragogipe, sometimes called the “elephant bean,” is a natural marvel in the world of coffee due to its unusually large size and delicate character. Cultivated in Nicaragua’s highlands, this unique varietal has a whimsical charm, both in the way it looks and the gentle way it performs in the cup. Though challenging to grow and low in yield, its rarity is matched by a soft, clean flavor that leans toward subtlety rather than boldness. For enthusiasts who enjoy nuance and mild complexity, Maragogipe is a delightful deviation from stronger, darker profiles. Its legacy continues through dedicated farmers who see beauty in its fragility and potential in its uniqueness.
