Delicately Balanced: Nicaraguan Arabica Beans

Discover the rich, yet delicately balanced flavours of Central America with our MONT58 Nicaragua Single Origin Coffee Beans. Sourced from the fertile, volcanic highlands of Nicaragua, this exceptional Arabica coffee is a testament to the country's enduring coffee heritage.

Nicaraguan coffee is typically grown by small-scale farmers in the central mountain ranges, notably in the esteemed regions of Jinotega, Matagalpa, and Nueva Segovia. Cultivated at high altitudes, typically between 1,100 and 1,600 metres above sea level (m.a.s.l.), the cooler climate allows the coffee cherry to mature slowly, developing a more complex flavour profile.

Traceability and Sustainability

The vast majority of coffee grown in Nicaragua is shade-grown, a traditional and sustainable farming method that supports biodiversity and helps preserve the natural ecosystem, including providing a crucial habitat for migratory birds. We champion coffees that support the thousands of smallholder families who rely on coffee production, ensuring quality and sustainability go hand-in-hand.

Growing Region: The Central Highlands of Nicaragua (e.g., Jinotega, Matagalpa).
Altitude: 1,100 – 1,600 m.a.s.l.
Varietals: Typically Caturra, Bourbon, or Pacamara varieties (100% Arabica).
Process: Likely Fully Washed (Wet Processed), which promotes a clean, bright flavour in the cup.
Harvest Period: Generally October to March.

Recommended Brewing Method

To best enjoy the clean, balanced profile and subtle fruity notes of our Nicaragua Single Origin coffee, we recommend methods that allow for a clean extraction and highlight its clarity:

Pour-Over (e.g., V60 or Chemex): This method is ideal for showcasing the coffee's brightness and delicate flavour nuances, resulting in a clean and well-defined cup.

French Press (Cafetière): If you prefer a fuller body and richer mouthfeel, the French Press will amplify the cocoa and nutty undertones.

About The Roastery

Mont58 Coffee is the passion project of husband-and-wife team, Shai and Maya. Their journey began quite literally at home in 2018, when they took the plunge and jacked in their full-time jobs to start roasting coffee in a humble garden shed in South-East London. Shai, whose passion for coffee was sparked by childhood memories of drinking cardamom-spiced coffee with his grandfather, honed his craft on a tiny 250g machine.

This small-batch venture quickly took off, especially during the lockdown when the local community wholeheartedly embraced their door-to-door, bike-delivered coffee.

While they have since scaled up to a larger roastery in Ashford, Kent, and opened further sites, the spirit of that original shed, small business, big heart, remains central to their award-winning, ethical, and community-focused mission. It's a proper 'started from the ground up' success story, but with significantly better beans.
