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.
