🌋 Nicaragua Coffee: A Harmony of Flavor and Altitude


The Wonderful World of Coffee — Coast 2 Coast Roasters 

☕ The Flavor of the Highlands

Nestled between two coasts, Nicaragua is blessed with volcanic landscapes and fertile valleys that make it one of Central America’s hidden coffee treasures. The cool mountain air, steady rainfall, and mineral-rich soil create perfect conditions for cultivating beans that are balanced, smooth, and naturally sweet.

Among the varietals grown here, one name stands above the rest: Caturra.

🌿 Meet Caturra — The Compact Bourbon

Caturra originated in Brazil in the early 1900s as a natural mutation of the Bourbon varietal. The plant’s compact size and high yield quickly caught the attention of farmers across Latin America. By mid-century, it had made its way to Nicaragua, where the country’s high elevations (1,000–1,800 meters) brought out its best characteristics.

Caturra’s smaller trees allow for closer planting, easier picking, and exceptional bean quality. When cultivated in the Nicaraguan highlands, it produces a cup that’s sweet, bright, and well-rounded—the perfect balance of body and flavor.

🍫 Tasting Notes

Nicaraguan Caturra coffees are known for their medium body and gentle acidity, delivering a smooth, satisfying cup.
Expect flavors such as:

  • Milk chocolate & caramel sweetness
  • Hints of citrus or red fruit
  • Subtle nutty undertones like almond or hazelnut
  • A silky mouthfeel with a clean cocoa finish

It’s a profile that works beautifully in both pour-over and espresso—approachable for new coffee lovers yet nuanced for connoisseurs.

🔥 Roaster’s Perspective

At Coast 2 Coast Roasters, we admire Caturra’s ability to deliver harmony in every roast. We highlight its natural sweetness with a medium roast that balances cocoa and citrus tones for a lively yet comforting flavor.

Our Nicaraguan Caturra roast offers a smooth balance of cocoa and bright citrus, finishing clean and sweet—a cup you’ll want every morning.

🌎 Why We Love It

Nicaraguan Caturra represents everything we celebrate at Coast 2 Coast Roasters—a connection between land, craft, and cup. Each sip reflects the care of growers and the richness of Nicaragua’s volcanic soil, offering coffee that feels both familiar and inspiring.

Balanced, flavorful, and grown with passion—this is Nicaragua Caturra.
