Split Bean Coffee 100% Mountain Grown Nicaraguan Coffees Split Bean Coffee is a Southern California based micro-roaster and distributor of fine coffees, dedicated to the promotion of Nicaraguan Coffees.  Why Nicarguan coffees you may ask? Nicaraguan coffees are highly  underrated. They possess great body and balance, outperforming most other Latin American Coffees. Good Nicaraguan coffees are considered a "classic" cup by coffee connoisseurs: with great body, clean flavor, and balance. Nicaraguan coffees are unique among Central American coffees because the highest altitude grown crops (SHG grade: Strictly High Grown) do not develop the pronounced and sharp acidity of other Central American coffees. Nicaraguan coffees are unique among the Central Americans, with the closest "cup kin" being certain Colombians. They have great body and balance. Split Bean Coffee features Nicaraguan coffees from the region of Matagalpa.  Grown  for us by a Fair Trade certified co-op, where Quality Control, the enviornment, and social responsibility are the conerstones of their organization.  We invite you to enjoy our coffees.        Our Coffees are harvested at the optimal moment and carefully processed by independent farmers.  Dried in the sun, selected and prepared for export in dry mills under strict quality guidelines.
