De Roots van jouw Koffie

Boer

The Duriaux Family

Since 1993, Georges, Liliana and (later) their son Jean-Yves have managed Reserva El Jaguar, a 100-hectare private nature reserve in Matagalpa.

What started as a deep passion for birds and nature has grown into a globally recognized bird paradise (official recognition as an Important Bird and Biodiversity Area) where more than 290 species have now been counted. The Duriaux family translates this love for biodiversity into their coffee plantations, proving that top quality and nature restoration reinforce each other.

TUKA decouples the farmer's income from speculation on the world market. This provides the farmer with the financial stability to no longer have to live from harvest to harvest.

Regio & Terroir

The farm is located deep in the cloud forest at an altitude of 1,300 to 1,350 meters. The Duriaux family produces hybrid coffee varieties here, combining the quality of Arabica with the resilience needed in a wild and lower-lying ecosystem. Due to the constant cloud cover and the shade of the cloud forest, the berries ripen extremely slowly, which ensures a complex acidity and a technically pure flavor profile characteristic of the best Nicaraguan microlots.

Oerwoud

Natuurbehoud

Reserva El Jaguar serves as a crucial 'biological bridge' on the migratory routes of birds between North and South America. The Duriaux family employs a strict agroforestry system where coffee plants grow under a layered forest canopy that serves as a vital stopover for hundreds of bird species. By using solar dryers and closed water purification systems in processing, the impact on local water sources is eliminated, actively protecting and restoring the cloud forest and its native flora and fauna.

FAQ

What gives Mundo Maya coffee beans from Nicaragua from TUKA Coffee Roasters their unique flavor?

Mundo Maya is a single-origin microlot coffee from Matagalpa, a high-altitude, fertile region of Nicaragua. With single-origin coffee, all the beans come from a single region of origin. A microlot represents the crème de la crème of the harvest, a small batch of beans of the highest possible quality and the most distinctive flavor profile. Thanks to the volcanic soils and mild climate, this specialty Arabica develops its rich, complex flavors.

What kind of coffee is TUKA Coffee Roasters' Mundo Maya?

The Mundo Maya coffee bean is rich and full-bodied, with notes of dark chocolate and brown sugar. Subtle hints of cherry and orange emerge beneath. The coffee has a round, delicate finish that lingers.

How sustainable is TUKA Coffee Roasters' coffee?

We work through direct trade: we buy our coffee directly from small farmers in biodiverse nature reserves in Matagalpa. Because there's no middleman, they receive a fair price and a long-term partnership is created. This gives farmers the opportunity to invest in better quality, environmental protection, and their communities. Want to learn more about this sustainable partnership?
