Erwin Mierisch

Erwin Mierisch produces coffee in the Jinotega and Yasica Norte regions of Nicaragua. The farms operate within an altitude band ranging from 975 to 1400 meters above sea level.

The varietal landscape at these farms is primarily composed of Catuai, with additional production of Bourbon and Red Catuai. These cultivars form the basis of the lots represented in the current index.

The process portfolio for these coffees includes both washed and natural treatments. The producer utilizes standard washed methods alongside a natural process, which is sometimes labeled as a funky natural in the catalog.

The catalog footprint for Erwin Mierisch includes four distinct lots harvested and processed for the market. These coffees have been featured by one roaster, 3fe, with an average Northscore of 79.0 across the entries.

Recent catalog examples include the Nicaragua Los Milagros, processed as a washed Red Catuai, and the Nicaragua El Limoncillo, which features a natural Bourbon. Additionally, the catalog lists the Nicaragua La Escondida, which is represented by both a washed Catuai and a washed Red Catuai lot.

The work of Erwin Mierisch is characterized by a consistent focus on traditional varietals and a balance between washed and natural processing methods.
