At Mama Mina Farm, only ripe red cherries are hand-harvested, depulped with minimal water, and dry-fermented in open-air tanks for 36 hours. After washing and density classification, the coffee is dried first on net-covered ground patios for two days, then on raised beds in a greenhouse under partial shade for 14 days, totaling 16 days. The parchment rests for at least a month to stabilize humidity and preserve bean quality. This particular lot is Red Pacamara, a cross between Pacas and Maragogype, known for its large “elephant” beans and standout cup profile.

PRODUCER

Finca Mierisch

Region

Matagalpa, Nicaragua

Bruno Mierisch, a German engineer, emigrated to Nicaragua in the late 1800s to work on railroad projects. After the government compensated him with land and a gold mine, he founded Finca Mierisch and planted his first coffee trees in 1908. Today, Fincas Mierisch is managed by his grandson and great-great-grandson, continuing his legacy through sustainable and ethical farming. The farms prioritize fair wages, non-discrimination, and daycare and education for workers’ families. Environmental practices include water recycling, chemical-free buffer zones near all water sources, shade tree preservation, and renewable energy use.
