Known as the “Land of Eternal Spring,” Matagalpa, Nicaragua, is nestled in a sprawling valley, full of lush trees, colorful houses, and, of course, coffee. The mountains that bookend Matagalpa are sown thick with high-altitude coffee plants that bear seeds with natural notes of citrus, vanilla, and chocolate-covered nuts, with an occasional wine-like zing coming through. Matagalpa coffee grows bountifully in the region’s volcanic soil, nurtured by the native tropical temperatures (which hover around a cozy 77°F year-round).
