Nicaragua Anaerobic Natural Maragogipe Roasted Coffee - 10lb Barrel

This Nicaragua Anaerobic Natural Maragogipe, offered by Nossa Familia Coffee, represents a unique intersection of rare plant genetics and modern processing techniques. The Maragogipe varietal, often referred to as "elephant bean" due to its unusually large size, is a mutation of Typica known for its distinct physical profile. When paired with an anaerobic natural process—where cherries ferment in a sealed, oxygen-free environment—the resulting cup often exhibits intensified sweetness and complex, wine-like acidity compared to traditional drying methods.

Because this lot undergoes such a specialized fermentation, it offers a sensory experience that pushes beyond standard regional expectations. To better understand how these specific processing variables influence the final cup, we recommend referencing our flavor wheel to help identify the nuanced characteristics present in this 10lb barrel. This coffee serves as an excellent example of how intentional post-harvest handling can transform the expression of a classic, low-yield varietal.
