Nicaragua's coffee industry: A history of resilience and quality
Now the 12th largest producer in the world, Nicaragua started making its mark in the coffee industry in the mid-1800s. Impacted by political and social unrest, falling coffee prices, and extreme weather events in the second half of the 1900s, the country has consistently produced high-quality coffee beans.
Nicaragua coffee comprises 85% Arabica and 15% Robusta varieties, primarily grown in rich, volcanic soil across five regions at high altitudes - The perfect conditions for producing environmentally friendly, exceptional coffee beans.
Producers have recently started testing natural processing methods, but the washed method is still the most popular. Removing the outer layers of the cherry down to the parchment before drying creates a clean, crisp, mildly acidic coffee.
It's a testament to the small farmers that their coffee production has survived many challenges and yet continues to improve in quality.
