Nicaragua Jinotega Marimba (Local Pickup or Delivery Only)

The marimba is Nicaragua’s national instrument. It’s particularly popular in the central and western parts of the country, like in the department of Jinotega, where this coffee was sourced from. The area is Nicaragua’s largest coffee region, and altitudes here range from 1,300-1,700masl. The soil is rich with clay and volcanic ash, with plenty of natural canopy to provide shade over the coffee trees. 

This coffee is a Strictly High Grown (SHG) coffee and is grown at an altitude of 1,200 meters above sea level or higher. When coffee cherries grow at high altitudes, they tend to mature more slowly. This allows the fruit to take in more nutrients, resulting in denser, sweeter green coffee beans that are considered higher quality.
