Our Take: Our Nicaraguan Craft Coffee has a grading of SHG/EP. This Single Origin is of the Arabica variety and comes from the breathtaking mountains of the northwest region of Nicaragua, the Jinotega. The Grading of SHG, or "Strictly High Growth", ensures that the coffee was grown at high altitudes, this enables the coffee beans a slower growing process. The result is a much denser ultra high-quality bean. The EP, or "European Preparation", refers to green coffee, before export, that has undergone rigorous sorting - usually by hand, ensuring the finest green beans are exported.
