Overview of available coffee

As part of its mission to promote Nicaraguan coffee, Nicaraguan Specialty Coffees keeps track of which Nicaraguan green coffees are available in Europe. This overview is updated monthly and is not directly linked to the suppliers' inventory systems, so it may occasionally be slightly out of date.

We offer both roasted coffee and green (unroasted) beans.

Roasted coffee:

Nicaraguan blend

A balanced blend of Pacamara Honey, an Arabica blend from Cooperativa San Juan de Rio Coco, and Brazil Mantiqueira Mountains. This coffee shines both as an espresso and as a filter brew.

The base of this blend is the Regional Select from UCA San Juan del Río Coco. This is a so-called Unión de Cooperativas—a union of various coffee cooperatives from the San Juan del Río Coco region in northern Nicaragua. We sourced this coffee through Sucafina. The Regional Select is a blend of different Arabica varieties grown by the small-scale farmers affiliated with the cooperative.

The Pacamara Honey from Luis Alberto Balladarez adds soft and sweet notes to this blend. This coffee was sourced through The Coffee Quest from Luis Alberto Balladarez, owner of the Un Regalo de Dios farm and the Las Segovias dry mill. This farm has mastered the art of producing excellent coffee and has consistently scored highly in the Cup of Excellence over the years. The Coffee Quest provides outstanding traceability for this coffee, including transparency about the price paid to the producer.

The third component of this blend is a Brazilian coffee from the Mantiqueira Mountains. Sourced through Sucafina, this coffee adds a bit more body and strength to the Nicaraguan Blend.
