Coffee Information
Nicaragua: El Suspiro, Orange Bourbon, Cold Anaerobic Natural An intense sweetness of candyfloss mingles with sweet pink grapes up front, backed by a silky texture. Elegant hibiscus and orange zest follow on from the grape and linger into the aftertaste for an elegant and complex cup. This is a coffee that exists because someone who knows our Green Buyer Roland’s palate offered him a choice and he trusted his gut. This is one of the wonderful benefits of working with producers long-term and building genuine friendships at origin. We know what they are best at, they know what we love to buy. We feel that this Cold Anaerobic Natural Orange Bourbon from Finca El Suspiro sits right in that Goldilocks zone. Wingo Knows Us So Well! When asked what led us to buy this particular coffee, our Green Buyer Roland had this to say: "This lot was suggested to me by Wingo Mierisch, who knows how much I love Orange Bourbons (see our Striped Orange Bourbon from La Huella as well). He offered me different processes of the Orange Bourbon, which is a large section of El Suspiro and, remembering how well the Cold Fermented Naturals they’ve done before have turned out, I decided on this one. When the sample turned up for me to taste, I was very pleased that it turned out as well as I had hoped." Coffee Amongst Rainforest The Mierisch family have 11 farms in Nicaragua and 3 in Honduras. The Nicaraguan farms are Limoncillo, Las Delicias, San José, Los Placeres, La Huella, Mama Mina, La Escondida, El Encanto, El Suspiro, Los Altos, and Laguna Verde. This is the first time we have decided to buy coffee from El Suspiro, although we have been buying from the family's other farms since 2007, making them one of our longest-running producer relationships. El Suspiro is located in the community of El Arenal, in the department of Matagalpa, within Nicaragua’s northern highlands. The farm sits at 1,350 to 1,450 metres above sea level, with a mild diurnal cycle of 21°C during the day and 15°C at night, ideal conditions for coffee production. Three of the other Mierisch farms share the same valley: La Huella, Mama Mina, and Los Altos. The estate covers 35 hectares in total, with 15 hectares planted in coffee and the remaining 20 hectares retained as protected rainforest. El Suspiro has the smallest coffee-growing area of all fourteen Mierisch family farms.
