Finca Buenos Aires, Никарагуа

This Maragogype lot marks the return of one of coffee’s most distinctive and sought-after varieties. Often referred to as the “big bean” coffee, Maragogype is celebrated not only for its unusually large beans, but also for its elegant, expressive cup profile. Due to naturally low yields, it has become increasingly rare making this lot a particularly special find.

The coffee is grown by Olman Valladarez on his family’s farm, cultivated for over 60 years and surrounded by dense native forest. Sustainability is central to Olman’s approach: he focuses on preserving biodiversity, reducing chemical inputs, and protecting local water sources, while continuing to experiment with unique and less common varieties.

Grown predominantly under shade in sandy soils, this coffee reflects both patience and careful stewardship. The result is a cup with presence and clarity, a true labour of love, and a reminder that sometimes, bigger really is better.
