  • The Mierisch family has produced coffee in Nicaragua for five generations and expanded to Honduras in 2011. We’ve worked closely with Erwin Sr., Eleane, and Erwin Jr. since then.

    Cerro Azul, one of their fifteen farms across both countries, receives the highest rainfall. Soil tests revealed its composition is similar to one of their Nicaraguan farms, with nutrient-rich silty clay that enhances productivity and coffee quality.

    This natural Java from Cerro Azul showcases sweet stone fruit and berry notes, complemented by an aftertaste of cinnamon, roasted hazelnut, and caramel.

Producer

Producer

The Mierisch family has a rich history in the coffee industry that dates to 1908, establishing themselves as prominent coffee growers and producers. Yet it was only 21 years ago that Senior Erwin Mierisch, the son of Dr. Erwin Mierisch, began focusing on producing speciality coffee. This shift came about when Senior Erwin Mierisch participated in a Nicaraguan coffee competition, where he translated for his father.

Origin

Origin

Sitting on the borders of Honduras and Costa Rica, Nicaragua is the largest country in Central America. Despite its size, Nicaragua’s coffee regions are nestled in a small northern pocket of the country, where unique micro-climates, diverse terrain, and a deep commitment to sustainable solutions has not only rescued a volatile industry, but propelled it into the world of speciality coffee. Consistent in quality, Nicaraguan coffee is well-regarded for its sweeter chocolate and nut flavours, as well as floral notes, and a clean, bright citric acidity.
