Nicaragua SHG Matagalpa Coffee

Discover the bright and balanced flavours of Nicaragua SHG (Strictly High Grown) Matagalpa Coffee, a high altitude gem from the mountainous Matagalpa region in north central Nicaragua. Grown at elevations between 1,200 and 1,600 metres, these Strictly High Grown beans benefit from cool temperatures and slower ripening, allowing for greater complexity and depth of flavour.
This exceptional coffee offers a medium to full body with a lively acidity that enhances its rich and layered character. Expect a beautifully balanced cup with notes of nuts, chocolate, and subtle hints of fruit, floral tones, caramel, and citrus for a truly captivating brew.
To ensure maximum freshness, quality and consistency, every batch is roasted in small quantities in Norfolk, United Kingdom.
