About Nicaraguan Coffee

Colipse's Nicaragua Jinotega is a prime example of one of the best Nicaraguan coffee beans, sourced from family-owned farms in the Jinotega region. This area is renowned for its ideal coffee-growing conditions: clay loam soil, a tropical climate, and high altitudes (980-1,400 meters), which consistently yield high-quality beans. Colipse's Nicaragua Jinotega single origin specialty coffee is processed using a meticulous fully washed method. This involves removing the cherry's pulp and then fermenting the beans in water for 12-24 hours. Afterwards, they're sun-dried for 7-10 days until their moisture content reaches 10-12%. The beans are cultivated on family-owned farms (ranging from 4 to 100 acres) that are part of COMULFAC, a cooperative established in 2013 with support from the J&M Family. These farms produce a variety of coffee types, including Bourbon, Caturra, Catuai, Catimor, and Marogogype. The harvest season runs from December to March, with exports taking place from February to July.
