Maracaturra, a hybrid of the Maragogype "Elephant Bean" and Caturra varietals, takes its name from its two parent varietals. Its large, porous beans are similar to those of the Maragogype, but with the more exciting flavors of the Caturra varietal.
This lot went through the natural process and was laid out on beds to dry, resulting in bright tasting notes. Our Nicaragua Maracaturra Natural is a light medium roast with notes of Swiss chocolate, blackberry, and soft plum with a rich sweetness reminiscent of honey and caramel. It has subtle hints of chocolate and dark fruit undertones that add richness and depth to the cup with a medium body and silky mouthfeel.
This is one of the four coffees we offer from Finca Los Pinos, three of which are also Maracaturras and can be found in our Producer's Collection. Check out the rest of our Producer's Collection to try coffees that are of the same varietal and were grown on the same farm, but have unique tasting notes due to the processing methods used.
