Without the name recognition of Guatemala or Colombia, it consistently produces exceptional cups that earn their place in any serious lineup — bright, sweet, clean, and complex in a way that rewards attention. This is the coffee that converts people who think they've already found their favorite Central American origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy We Carry This\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur Nicaragua comes from the highlands of Jinotega or Matagalpa — the two most celebrated coffee-growing regions in the country.
