Did you know?

Maragogipe Coffee, scientifically known as Coffea arabica L var. maragogipe A. Fern. Ex A. Frohner, is a rare and highly sought-after variety of Arabica coffee. Often referred to as "elephant coffee beans" due to their large size, these beans are believed to be a spontaneous mutation of the Typica variety, which occurred in Maragogipe, Bahia, Brazil.

The flavor profile of Maragogipe coffee can vary significantly depending on the soil it grows in. While poor soils may result in beans with a more subdued flavor, the natural sugars in the beans can enhance their taste when they are dried carefully. This makes Maragogipe a unique coffee, prized by aficionados for its potential to produce exceptional flavors when grown under the right conditions.
