Specialty coffee beans Funky Beans Nicaragua Limoncillo, 200 g

There’s an alluring aroma of ripe pears and sour cherries hanging in the air, accompanied by the intoxicating notes of red wine… Who could possibly resist such an exquisite combo?

These exotic flavours hail from the Limoncillo Estate located high in the mountains of Matagalpa, Nicaragua. Stretching 1100 metres above sea level, these luscious coffee plantations belong to the Mierisch family, who relocated from Germany to South America in the 19th century. Bruno Mierisch Boettiger, a German geologist, moved here to help the locals construct the national railway. Once his work was done, Bruno was given some land in Matagalpa as a way to repay him for his efforts. Luckily, he was brave enough to stay in South America, and start working on his own coffee estate. If you were to travel across these lands today, you’d still feel the remnants of Bruno’s courageous, adventurous spirit: after all, combining the hybrid arabica subspecies called Ethiosar with the trendy anaerobic processing method does require some bravery and serious willingness to experiment!
