The Mierisch family has been crafting exceptional coffee in Nicaragua for five generations, expanding their legacy to Honduras in 2011. Since then, we've had the privilege of collaborating with Erwin Sr., Eleane, and Erwin Jr. Among their fifteen farms, Cerro Azul stands out, receiving the highest rainfall. With nutrient-rich silty clay soil—similar to their top-performing Nicaraguan farm—Cerro Azul's superior water retention boosts both productivity and coffee quality. This washed Honduran coffee offers vibrant berry and stone fruit notes, a bright acidity, lighter body, and a smooth, chocolatey finish, making it a standout in every cup.

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

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.
