Nicaragua Limoncillo Estate Fincas Mierisch Sweet & Fruity Specialty Coffee
This coffee greets you with an aroma of caramel cookies. Expect a rich, sweet and fruity flavor with hints of peanut butter, yellow plum, gooseberry, and cocoa. Exceptionally smooth, well-balanced, with low acidity and a pleasantly layered bitterness.
The Mierisch family has been growing coffee in Nicaragua for over a century. It all began with Bruno Mierisch Boettiger, a German geologist invited by the Nicaraguan government in the late 1800s to help build the national railway. As part of his payment, he received land in the Matagalpa mountains. There he planted lemons, and in 1908, his first coffee tree—marking the start of the family's journey into Nicaragua’s coffee revolution.
Today, Fincas Mierisch remains a family-owned business with farms across Nicaragua and Honduras. In the 1990s, surgeon Erwin R. Mierisch, representing the third generation, shifted the family’s focus from commercial to specialty coffee. The following generations brought the Mierisch name onto the international stage, particularly through their involvement in the Cup of Excellence program, where their coffees consistently win awards.
Erwin “Wingo” Mierisch, a fifth-generation coffee producer and former NYC barista, now oversees their quality control lab and client relations.
