Information: Dr. Erwin R. Mierisch, along with his wife, Maria Ligia McEwan de Mierisch, are Fincas Mierisch’s 3rd generation producers.
Their
children, Erwin Jr, Eleane, and Steve, got involved in organizing,
judging, and participating in the Cup of Excellence program from the mid
2000’s, which helped them to learn all the hard work it takes to
produce high caliber coffee.
In Nicaragua, the farms are located
in the Matagalpa and Jinotega departments. Matagalpa is home to 6 farms,
whereas Jinotega, a little bit farther north-west, is home to 3 farms .
Each farm has a unique micro-climate and soil composition, which makes
their management, and coffee quality, truly distinct from one another.
Give them all a try, and see for yourself
They’ve been in
Honduras, our adoptive home, since the end of 2011. After Erwin Jr.’s
amazing experience with Cup of Excellence Honduras 2010, he saw the
incredible potential for specialty coffee cultivation in
the country.
After a chance encounter to purchase a farm, called Cerro Azul, Erwin
Jr. jumped at the chance. Since hen, they’ve expanded to two more
adjecent farms: Santa Lucia and Lalita.
In Honduras, we’re
strictly located near the community of Rio Blanco in the municipality of
Siguatepeque, of the Comayagua department. All three farms in Honduras
sit at a higher altitude than any of their farms in Nicaragua. Erwin Jr.
vision and hard work paid off with a 1st Place placing in Cup of
Excellence 2019 with a Washed Gesha from Santa Lucia.
