Cup Profile
The unique cultivar Maragogype or Maragogipe (mar-ah-go-GEE-pay), also known as "the elephant bean", produces the largest coffee beans in the world. A natural mutation of Typica discovered in Brazil in the 1870s, Maragogype trees produce massive leaves and cherries, but relatively low yields. The cultivar has found a home in Nicaragua and when grown right - as it is here - produces very sweet coffees with lovely aromatics and big flavors in the cocoa and caramel end of the spectrum.
This lot from the Sacacli cooperative is a wonderfully sweet coffee with prevalent notes of dark chocolate, and a nutty fruit-forward profile. The body is full and very clean, with a slightly drying finish and a pleasing lingering tartness.
Two firsts for us here at FreeForm - a Regenerative Organic Certified™ coffee and an offering of the rare Maragogype cultivar. This single origin coffee from Nicaragua offers a harmonious balance of sweet and savory flavors including red apple, dark chocolate, and walnut.
Regenerative Organic Certified™
Regenerative agriculture is a practice of holistic farming that views agriculture as an interconnected and interdependent system. Regenerative Organic Certified™ was established in 2017 to institute standards for this practice of agriculture, with the intention of building environmental and social resilience in the face of climate change and economic disparity. Often dubbed, "Organic Plus," ROC™ is an all-encompassing certification that features three main pillars of focus:
- Soil Health and Land Management

"Best tasting better-for-you chocolate"
"So yummy!! This chocolate bar takes it one step further as a healthier candy option, while still being very flavorful. Love that it’s low in sugar, dairy-free, and doesn’t have seed oils or lecithin. The matcha and added adaptogens made it a much-needed treat during my lunch break." ~Nadine
"Replaces my morning coffee"
"Eating 2 servings of this mocha bar replaces my morning coffee and it doesn't come with any jitters. I feel mentally sharp and have better recall early in the morning. There's a good amount of mushrooms per serving but you don't taste it at all. Great price for the amount of active ingredients too." ~Lena R.
"My new favorite chocolate"
"Oh wow, this is my new favorite chocolate. I haven't had a vegan mylk chocolate bar taste this good. No joke, my picky 13 yr old will ask for more. Mucuna really is the best for a mood and dopamine boost, so the fact that both my teenager and I can benefit with enjoyment is a major plus!" ~Mia
"Golden Sedona Sunrise has really made my mornings luxurious"
"I used to shy away from hot lattes at home because it seemed like so many steps and different ingredients, but this exotic blend does all the work for me. I just heat my coconut milk and it’s ready to go! I’m a big fan!! Well done.” ~ M. Montoya
"So delicious!!"
"This wonderful, sprouted almond butter is exactly as described — silky. It was delicious and I am delighted to have it available online for purchase." ~ Stratagenie
