Geography
Nicaragua's Maragogype coffee of size 19+ comes from the Jinotega and Matagalpa regions from altitudes of 1000-1200 meters above sea level. Coffee grows on volcanic soils under the shade of trees such as inga, banana tree. The average annual temperature is 20 degrees Celsius. About 6-7 thousand bags of maragogype are produced annually.

Climate
Jinotega and Matagalpa are located in the north of the Central Mountains of Nicaragua, 160 km from the capital city of Managua. The towns of Jinotega and Matagalpa are located in a valley surrounded by high mountains. About 80% of all Nicaraguan coffee is produced in Jinotega. In addition, we need a climate of a humid tropical forest with rich vegetation. Under the shade of other trees, maragogype berries ripen slowly, which allows you to develop a deeper and more interesting taste. Jinotega, known as La Ciudad de las Brumas (city of mists), is located next to Lake Apanas.
Picking berries
Maragogype was brought to Nicaragua in the middle of the 20th century by the Germans who lived there. Today, only a small number of farmers grow maragogype in the country. Its trees are quite capricious, they need a rich volcanic soil in order to reach a height of 3 meters above sea level.
