Flavor Description
Matagalpa is often seen as one of Nicaragua’s most dependable and easy-to-love regions. This Honey Bourbon shows honey, hazelnut, creamy caramel, and ripe yellow plum sweetness. The acidity is soft rather than sharp, with a rounded structure and a warm cocoa-brown sugar finish.
Why It Belongs Here
Compared with the brighter floral-fruit style of Nueva Segovia, Matagalpa often leans toward softer sweetness with cocoa and nut tones. Honey processing amplifies that regional character with extra viscosity and sweetness, making it a very recognizable Nicaraguan expression.
Brewing Notes
- Pour-over: Medium grind, water temperature 90–91°C, ratio 1:15
- Tip: To emphasize caramel and nutty notes, keep pouring more focused with less agitation
