23. El Suspiro – Nicaragua Espresso

Dark Chocolate, Hazelnut, Honey

This is the first time we've roasted a coffee from the Finca El Susprio, one of the farms of our partners at the Fincas Mierisch. It's a nutty espresso that displays many classic Nicaraguan characteristics, with a chocolatey sweetness, a delicate, pear-like acidity and a nutty body and finish. 

Cultivation

Grown with love by great farmers. 100% arabica coffee, picked when it's ripe, processed with care, and fairly traded.

Packaging

About this coffee

This coffee is the result of a natural mutation of the Red Bourbon variety in Nicaragua, which yielded coffee cherries with a lighter orange colour. The yield of this sub-species is somewhat smaller, but it's a fantastically aromatic coffee, with notes of chocolate, nuts and honey. It has a chocolatey sweetness and a gentle pear-like acidity, that wonderfully balances the nutty body and finish.

Cup of Excellence

About the farm

The Finca El Susprio is the smallest of the Mierisch Family's farms, located in the famous Matagalpa region in Nicaragua. The family has been in the coffee business since 1908, and over the last couple of decades they've been placing an emphasis on producing higher quality coffees in smaller lots.

They've invested in new varieties, techniques, processing methods and employee education, investments that have payed off. Several wins at the Cup of Excellence and a local reputation for being an ecologically and social responsible producer have seen their business booming.
