    About the coffee

    This stunning coffee exhibits everything we love about Nicaraguan Geishas. It's a super floral coffee with a potent note of roses, a silky body and fantastic sweetness. It's a washed coffee, meaning the cup is super clean, letting the natural character of the coffee shine through.

    About the farm

    Las Delicias is one of the Fincas Mierisch, a group of a farms in Nicaragua and Honduras run by the Mierisch family, a kind of coffee dynasty famous in Nicaragua and beyond for their excellent coffees.

    Eleane, Steve and Erwin Mierisch are the fourth generation of coffee producers in this family descendant from Bruno Mierisch Boettiger, a German biologist who was employed by the Nicaraguan government in the 19th century to build the national railroad, and ended up being payed in land in the Matagalpa mountains. His farm would become the first of the Fincas Mierisch, Las Lajas.

    But it is the work of Eleane, Steve and Erwin that have propelled the Fincas Mierisch into the specialty coffee spotlight. They've been active in the Cup of Excellence programme since the early 2000s, and they've built a strong reputation for their group of farms.

    Jorge Luis Mendez runs the Finca Las Delicias, a small 12 hectare farm in Lipululo, a community in the Jinotega department, which lies north west of Bruno's original farm in Matagalapa. Besides this stunning Geisha, Javanica, Yellow Pacamara,, Yellow Pacas and Red Bourbon are also grown at Las Delicias.

    Bloody Good Coffee

    – SINCE 2002

    Bloody Good Rockstar

    Coffee is a fruit. This means it is naturally acidic, and contains many sugars. We roast our coffees to bring out this acidity and develop their natural sweetness.

    For us, all rare and special coffees are rockstars. We’re super proud of our diverse and extensive range of rare coffees. Geishas and other special varieties taste their best when we’re roasting them regularly and gaining experience. We are the only roasters in Germany that roast rockstars every single week, with Geisha and other rare varieties in our regular lineup.
