Nicaragua El Suspiro
Tasting Notes: Melon • Honey • Vanilla Cream
Nicaragua El Suspiro — Orange Bourbon is a refined washed specialty coffee from La Huella farm, crafted by the renowned Fincas Mierisch family. A Black Label single-origin selection offering a clean, balanced, and elegant cup with delicate sweetness.
La Huella farm sits at 1,350 masl in the Matagalpa highlands, where the Orange Bourbon variety — a rare colour mutation of the classic Bourbon cultivar — produces cherries with a distinctive orange hue at peak ripeness. This visual cue allows for highly selective picking, ensuring only the finest cherries are processed. The Mierish family’s washed technique emphasises purity and elegance, creating a cup with a silky mouthfeel and a sweetness that lingers. The melon and vanilla cream notes make this one of the most approachable yet complex specialty coffees in our range.
Brewing Recommendation: Best enjoyed as a V60 pour-over or Origami dripper. Pair with vanilla panna cotta or a fresh melon salad for a summery tasting experience.
