Scientific name: Coffea arabica L var. maragogipe A. Fern. Ex A. Frohner[1]
Maragogipe is a variety of Arabica coffee, also known as "elephant coffee beans". It is believed that this coffee is a spontaneous mutation of Typica coffee[2] that happened in Maragogipe, Bahia in Brazil. This is a very large size coffee bean in comparison to other Arabica coffee beans.
Maragogipe coffee's flavor varies depending on the soil where it grows. Poor soils produce a coffee with diminished flavors. That is why it is often referred to as a coffee with "not much flavor", but the flavor can be enhanced by allowing these coffee beans to dry with its natural sugars.[3]
Maragogipe is a rarity in the coffee world and it is appreciated by coffee aficionados.
