Introducing Maragogipe: The Rare Elephant Bean
Meet Maragogipe: The Rare Coffee Bean That’s Big on Flavor
They’re bigger, bolder, and unlike any coffee beans you’ve brewed before—meet Maragogipe, the rare and captivating “Elephant Bean.” Known for their unusually large size and delicate, complex flavor profile, Maragogipe beans are a treasure among coffee connoisseurs. Let’s explore why this exceptional variety deserves a spot in your cup.
What Makes Maragogipe So Special?
A Rare Discovery
The Maragogipe coffee variety was first discovered in the Maragogipe region of Brazil in the late 19th century. What makes these beans stand out is their size—they are significantly larger than typical coffee beans, earning them the nickname “Elephant Beans.”
But Maragogipe’s appeal goes beyond size. Its rarity, subtle flavors, and low acidity have made it a prized find for those who appreciate the finer details of coffee.
Cultivation in Guatemala
While Maragogipe originated in Brazil, it thrives in the high-altitude, volcanic soils of Guatemala. Ceiba Coffees sources Maragogipe from select microlots, where it is shade-grown and handpicked by skilled farmers. This careful cultivation preserves its delicate qualities, making it a rare gem in the world of specialty coffee.
The Flavor Profile of Maragogipe
What sets Maragogipe apart isn’t just its size but also its extraordinary flavor.
- Tasting Notes: Expect a cup with floral and tropical hints, subtle citrus brightness, and sweet caramel undertones. Its velvety mouthfeel adds a luxurious texture to the experience.
- Low Acidity: Maragogipe’s gentle acidity makes it an excellent choice for coffee drinkers who prefer a smoother, less tangy profile.
- Perfect Brewing Methods: To truly appreciate its nuances, brew Maragogipe using pour-over or French press methods, which highlight its delicate flavors.
A Coffee for the Adventurous Palate
