"The people used to be very poor and they are still very poor,
but something, something essential, has been changed. Now, for
the first time, they are doing something, and for the first time
they believe in what they are doing." — From an essay on
Nicaragua in the book, We Say No by journalist, Eduardo Galeano
When the American specialty market expanded in the 1980s
and '90s, U.S.-imposed trade embargos against Nicaragua's
Sandinista government kept Nicaraguan coffees off of
America's store shelves. As a result, Nicaragua never made it onto the
radars of most American coffee consumers. But while the country
has suffered from anonymity among consumers, industry buyers have
long known of Nicaragua's superb coffees, including heirloom
bourbon and typica varietals, most of which grow under dense
shade in extremely fertile volcanic soil at altitudes between
3500 and 5000 feet.
