Los Placeres – Fincas Mierisch

First time cooperation: 2025

Cooperation model: Direct Trade

Located in the Yasica Sur community of Matagalpa Province, Nicaragua, Los Placeres is a 169-hectare specialty coffee farm owned by the Mierisch family. Situated at an altitude of 840 to 970 meters above sea level, the farm enjoys a favorable climate, with average daytime temperatures around 25°C dropping to 17°C at night. The harvest season at Los Placeres runs from October through February. The farm is currently managed and operated directly by Mr. Oscar Guadalupe Ramos.

More than just a high-quality coffee growing region, Los Placeres has dedicated 28 hectares of land to tropical rainforest conservation, reflecting a vision of long-term development and a profound respect for nature.

At Los Placeres, a distinctive highlight is the Ethiosar – a unique hybrid coffee variety possessing precious genetic roots from Ethiopia, the land regarded as the original birthplace of Arabica coffee. This variety embodies a blend of East Africa’s traditional, heritage-rich genetics and the resilient vigor of a modern hybrid.

The Mierisch family maintains a profound connection to the land and nature. A philosophy of gratitude toward Mother Nature permeates every cultivation decision, helping to strike a balance between specialty coffee production and the preservation of the surrounding ecological biodiversity.
