Nicaragua El Suspiro
Nylon Coffee Roasters
Another new coffee up on the retail rack comes from our trusted
partners at Fincas Mierisch. The name of this farm might ring a bell to
some as we had this coffee 2 years ago. This time round, we shortlisted
the same coffee, same varietal, but of a different processing method.
Back then, we had a pulped natural coffee from El Suspiro. This year, we
went for a fully washed coffee as it shone out brightly on the cupping
table when we visited the cupping lab at Beneficio Don Estaban earlier
this year.
Maria Ligia Mierisch, one of the four siblings of
the Mierisch family started more active management of this farm in
recent years. Last year, we didn’t manage to get any of this coffee.
This year, we picked up a small quantity to showcase it as a filter
coffee. What we find most enjoyable about this coffee is its long
lingering sweetness.
This cup encompasses citric notes of mandarin oranges, stonefruits and light floral undertones. This coffee is high on cane sugar sweetness and is complemented by a silky texture. In the finish, look out for hints of milk chocolate to complete this well-structured, clean and sweet cup.
