Farm History
We have a lot in common with the Mierisch family, including one of our first direct trade connections. We have been sourcing coffee from Erwin and his family for almost 20 years now and maintain a close friendship with them. Their story begins at the end of the 19th century with Bruno Mierisch Böttiger, a German geologist. He was employed by the Nicaraguan government to support the expansion of the country's rail network. As the government was unable to pay him in full, they offered him land in the mountains of Matagalpa. He accepted the offer and started a lemon farm. It was not until 1908, thanks to government support, that he planted his first coffee trees. Since then, the Mierisch family, now in its fifth generation, has made a living from growing coffee. "Las Delicias" is the farm of Erwin's sister Eleane. Year after year, she devotedly produces one of the most delicious Yellow Pacamara Arabicas ever. At the last "Los Favoritos" competition, the lots that tasted the best by far were both from her. After a seemingly endless auction, we were able to secure these wonderful coffees!
