The personal farm of Eleane Mierisch, Las Delicias is a relatively new farm with it's establishment in 2014. Yet in a short time it has already made some waves by obtaining 4th place in Cup of Excellence Nicaragua in 2017 with a Javanica Washed. Eleane only cultivates a handful of varieties, including Yellow Pacamara and Gesha, but this lot represents the other variety on her farm: Javanica. Las Delicias is located in the Jinotega region of Nicaragua, with an average altitude of 1400masl, overlooking the manmade lake of Apanas.

| Processing Description: | Only optimally ripe cherries are hand-harvested, floated in water to remove any unripe cherries, and hand sorted. The wet cherries are then carefully transported to our dry mill where we proceed to sun dry. We emphasize a slow and prolonged drying time, nevertheless we give the wet cherries 100% sunlight on raised beds, as a thin layer, for the first 4 days (this diminishes the risk of mold growth or overfermentation). Following this, the coffee is moved to our greenhouse with raised beds where it will finish its slow drying phase under 50% shade for an additional 25 - 30 days until reaching a humidity below 12%. The final steps are the stabalization periods. First the parchment stabalizes for a month, we then proceed to hull and sort the parchment. Second stabalization occurs in green, for an additional month. This will assure the humidity amongst all the beans are uniform. |
