Flavor Description

Maracaturra remains one of Nicaragua’s most recognizable signature varieties. Natural versions often show ripe peach, red berries, floral nectar, and honey sweetness, with a full body but still enough structure to stay interesting.

Why It’s Popular

It combines the presence of a large-bean variety with the floral-fruity sweetness that specialty buyers love, which is why it remains a favorite among roasters and coffee drinkers.

Brewing Notes

  • Pour-over: Medium-fine grind, water temperature 90–91°C, ratio 1:15 to 1:16
  • Iced pour over: Also works well, making the ripe-fruit sweetness feel even more vivid
