We've roasted the coffee lighter to focus on the classic Maracaturra cup profile of fudge like caramels, roasted nut, and dried berry fruit. As the coffee cools, the experience evolves, revealing velvety chocolate notes and white melon undertones. The smooth, rounded mouthfeel offers a syrupy texture, complemented by a candied lemon citrus acidity on the aftertaste. With the lighter approach to roasting we suggest filter and immersion methods to fully appreciate this micro-lot. These brewing techniques will balance the lemon citrus acidity, bringing structure and harmony to the taste profile.
Across the world Maracaturra is not widely grown by coffee producers but in the cool, high-altitude mountains of Nuevo Segovia that skirt the border with Honduras it remains a well-regarded and often planted tree. This region's dense, lush shade vegetation provides ideal conditions for the cultivar's distinctive large coffee cherries, inherited from its Maragogype lineage. The slower ripening process is essential for these mammoth beans, fostering denser, sweeter, and more flavourful results. Once roasted and brewed, Maracaturra offers a unique taste profile that showcases the best of Nicaraguan coffee.
This micro-lot comes from smallholder producers whose farms surround the El Volcan mountain and operate collectively under the same name. In the past, their harvests would often be sold into larger bulked lots. This project instead promotes traceability and recognises the individual contributions of each family, including their chosen processing methods. In this case, the coffee underwent an extended fermentation after pulping, a step that deepens complexity and enhances cup quality. The result is a coffee that reflects both the careful work of its producers and the distinct potential of Dipilto’s terroir.
