Mocharagua
We have the new season crop from Jinotega. We love chocolatey coffee, and we're not ashamed to admit it. And we know a lot of you folks agree with us: coffee is good, but chocolatey coffee is even better!
Hence the Mocharagua coffee. It's mostly Nicaraguan Jinotega Arabica, roasted to a slightly deeper roast point to bring out its pronounced sweet-chocolate tones without over-toasting them. Then we added Indian Araku Valley Robusta, because Indian Robusta has the perfect dark cocoa undercurrent. The premium Robusta also rounds out the palate and gives the coffee a broader appeal, making this a real crowd-pleaser.
All this with no additives or flavorings. Just the natural tastes and aromas of the coffee beans. We think you'll love this coffee. It's amazing iced, too--try it Vietnamese-style!
8 ounces, please choose bean or drip grind. Caffeine level: 120 mg (slightly above average).

Consistently tasty
This is a staple in our house. My partner loves chocolaty blends, and this definitely has that going on.

I liked the flavor and acidity. My wife thought it was a bit weak. It’s good for an everyday cup, but not as good for pulling espresso shots.
Len's note - this is not a coffee designed for espresso, which needs drier roasts and a blend that optimizes crema, body and persistence :-)Posted by SonnyB on Oct 6th 2022

Great Coffee
We've been purchasing from Len since he went online.
Mocharagua is excellent by itself or blended with other Len's nuggets. One of our favorite blends is Mocharagua, Sang Tao 1, and Chocozilla.
We use a French press containing:
4oo ml hot water, 2 tbl spoons of Sang Tao, and 1 tbl spoon each of the other two.
After adding the hot water we stir for two minutes, and then let it stand for 2 minutes before pressing.
Full bodied, deeply flavored coffee is the result. Great iced or hot. Simply wonderful.Posted by Bill Yeager on Jul 17th 2022

Delicious Coffee
The Vietnamese coffees are still my favorites, but Moccaragua runs a close second. It is very good coffee. I am using it as a substitute until I can get more of the Trung Nguyen coffee.

Great. Quite a chocolate flavor
Grind beans freshly often mixing with TN Creative #4, Mexican Mocha, or PEET’S French Roast. Glorious!!

No additives or flavorings
It's easy to add in flavorings, but this coffee blend exudes chocolate-yness with only careful attention to roasting and varietal choices. That makes this very special. A pleasant comparison with Len's Chocozilla (from Brazilla). I recommend trying both of these coffees.

Glad I tried this!
This is truly a surprise new favorite. I am a long time lover of the Trung Nguyen "S" blend coffee, but I decided to give this a shot given it's promise of rich chocolatey goodness. I am very glad I did as it produces one of the most chocolatey cups of coffee I have ever had. Brewed in either a drip machine, phin filter or stovetop moka pot, I find this has a somewhat "cleaner" flavor profile than most of the Trung Nguyen blends making it my new preferred coffee for drinking hot, while I think the TN "S" blend will still be my favorite for iced.
Black or with milk (I don't think it needs sugar) the Mocharagua is simply fantastic!

The Araku Valley of India
India's coffee tradition goes back 400 years or more, when a variety called Kent was first established in the Southern Hills. Arabicas predominated until the blight of 1870, when growers needed to hybridize to resistant varieties. The resultant strains had genes from Liberica and other unique, resistant species.
