Nicaragua - Finca La Huella - Natural Red Bourbon - 25lb Box

Anthem’s green‑buying team has partnered with the Mierisch family for more than a decade, and their influence on the specialty coffee world is hard to overstate. Led by Erwin “Doc” Mierisch Sr. and carried forward by his children, the family has shaped modern Nicaraguan coffee—from sharing genetic research on their celebrated Nicaragua “Java” varietal to supporting the Cup of Excellence and pioneering nano‑lot precision. Their commitment to quality runs from seed propagation all the way through post‑harvest processing at their impeccably managed dry mill, Don Esteban. Finca La Huella is one of the family’s most captivating farms—a place that feels more like a wild botanical garden than a traditional coffee estate. A cool, mist‑filled valley cuts through the property, surrounded by lush vegetation, monkey‑tail ferns, and dense forest that creates a uniquely sheltered microclimate. It’s an environment that lends itself beautifully to slow cherry maturation and expressive natural processing. This Natural Red Bourbon captures the essence of La Huella’s landscape. In the cup, expect pear and cranberry aromatics, layered with vanilla and chocolate. The flavor profile leans into red fruits, chocolate‑cake richness, and a gentle malt sweetness, all supported by a clean, composed structure. It’s a vibrant yet balanced natural—refined, expressive, and unmistakably Mierisch.
