Discover an extraordinary twist of nature born in our cloud forest sanctuary. Our high-altitude Maragogype is a rare single-origin lot derived from a spontaneous botanical mutation of the historic Typica variety lineage. Because it is a pure mutation rather than a hybrid crossbreed, it retains all the delicate, complex, and elegant flavor notes of its heritage while exhibiting striking physical traits.
Widely celebrated for its dramatic gigantism, this variety is famously called “elephant bean” coffee due to its oversized leaves and magnificent seeds. Cultivating this rare heirloom requires intense agricultural care; the massive cell structures demand high metabolic energy from the plant, resulting in a lower density of seeds per branch and significantly lower yields than modern varieties like Caturra or Catuaí. What it lacks in yield, it more than rewards in an exquisite, concentrated flavor profile shaped by the rich mineral soils of the Sierra de las Minas.
