Sweet without sugar, mellow without cream, it is a great breakfast coffee. This coffee is roasted to a light milk chocolate color where its bright and complex flavors explode into life.

Nicaraguan Coffee Reviews

92 POINTS - "Balanced, crisply sweet-tart. Lemongrass, cardamom, cocoa powder, rhododendron-like flowers, fresh-cut cedar in aroma and cup. The structure fuses sweet, tart and savory tendencies, enlivened by a quietly juicy acidity. Buoyant, satiny mouthfeel. The crisp finish is richly sweet, with notes of lemongrass and vanilla-like florals carrying into the long."

- CoffeeReview.com

An excerpt from The New Nicaragua: "Perhaps the only coffee presenting a classic Nicaragua profile among all of the nine highest scorers is Thanksgiving Coffee’s Organic Shade-Grown Nicaragua (92), a blend of the respected Maracaturra, Caturra and Catuai varieties meticulously processed by the traditional wet method. It is also the only coffee we review that is certified Bird-Friendly by the Smithsonian Institution, hands-down the most uncompromising and rigorous of environmentally focused certifications. The idealism and passion that drove the growing and farm management that produced this coffee clearly went into its processing as well: It is an impressively pure coffee. Of all nine coffees we reviewed this month, it most clearly represents the classic Nicaragua cup of tradition, with its inherent balance, quietly juicy acidity and buoyant, satiny mouthfeel."

Bird Friendly Nicaraguan Coffee

Migrating songbirds need a place to rest on their long journeys and shade-grown coffee is one way to ensure that their precious habitats are being preserved. This coffee comes from the Finca Los Pinos Corrales family coffee farm in Aranjuez, Nicaragua, which is a part of the Mesoamerican rainforest, a corridor that stretches from Panama to Belize.

Certified shade-grown coffee means that the farms are seamlessly integrated into the forest, creating a lively community of birds, monkeys, jaguars, butterflies, and more.

Each package sold benefits the American Birding Association's programs in Central America. By drinking shade-grown and bird friendly certified coffee every morning, you are supporting these coffee farmers, the efforts of the ABA, and the countless birds they are protecting through community outreach and conservation.

Love drinking coffee? Consider signing up for a monthly coffee subscription. Why bother running to the store when your favorite shade-grown bird friendly coffee can be delivered fresh and straight to your door every month? Sign up today by checking the Monthly Coffee Subscription box above!

Positive Rating Favorite
From Debbie Davis of Hondo, Texas on 12/16/2019.

We love the flavor of these beans. Our reason for trying them is the Smithsonian Bird Friendly certification. We were looking for shade-grown, Organic with vigorous production standards assurance. We found it!

Hands down the best coffee I’ve ever tasted - and the only one I’ve ever been able to drink without cream! Smooth and flavorful. I’m so glad I subscribed so I never have to be without it. Thanks to my bird-watching friends for the recommendation.

Positive Rating Fantastic

Love this delicious SongBird Nicaraguan coffee!
And it supports a wonderful cause dear to my heart.

Positive Rating Great coffee if you drink just black without anything
From Irena of MQT, Michigan on 4/12/2019.

After dozens of years enjoying coffee with good heavy cream I decided "it was time to drink black coffee only" (I can not tolerate any added sweet taste in my coffee). Since my favorite kind of coffee from an organic Galapagos's farm was not immediately available for shipping I decided to search for temporal replacement. This coffee was/is way above my expectations. True to description (to look for black coffee in the USA that is neither bitter or sour is similar to asking for a free trip to Moon). . . .

Positive Rating The Best!
From MARJ PLUMB of Omaha, Nebraska on 2/10/2018.

My wife and I have been ordering this for latte's in the morning for at least ten years. The best, smoothest coffee we've ever had.

Positive Rating Highly Recommended
From Anonymous of Victoria, British Columbia on 1/30/2013.

My husband and I bought this from the zoo in Seattle and absolutely loved it! It has a very smooth taste. It might just be the best coffee I have ever tasted.
