Las Delicias es un café que representa el lado más refinado y expresivo de Nicaragua.

Producido por Erwin “Wingo” Jr Mierisch en la región de Jinotega, este lote de variedad Java destaca por su elegancia, complejidad y carácter único.

Cultivado entre 1.450 y 1.500 msnm, este café proviene de una de las familias más influyentes del café de especialidad, reconocida tanto por su calidad como por su impacto social y medioambiental.

Este lote refleja la evolución constante de Wingo, quien ha llevado esta finca a producir cafés cada vez más complejos, florales y definidos.

Proceso

Procesado mediante método natural, este café desarrolla un perfil intenso y afrutado con gran dulzor.

Las cerezas se secan lentamente, permitiendo que los azúcares de la fruta se integren completamente en el grano, dando lugar a una taza más compleja y expresiva.

Este enfoque resalta especialmente en la variedad Java, conocida por su elegancia y perfil aromático.

En taza

En taza, Las Delicias presenta un perfil dulce, floral y ligeramente licoroso, con notas claras de papaya, cacao y ron con pasas.

Aparecen también matices de fudge en el final, aportando una sensación cremosa y golosa.

La acidez es equilibrada, el cuerpo medio con textura jugosa y el final largo, dulce y envolvente.

En filter: máxima expresión aromática, floral y afrutada
En espresso: perfil más denso, dulce y con notas tipo licor
Con leche: notas tipo postre, chocolate y dulzor cremoso

Drop Coffee was founded in Stockholm, Sweden, in 2009 as a coffee bar near Mariatorget focused on serving tasty coffee. A year later, we started roasting on a 1kg roaster in the back of our shop. In 2012, we made the leap to a 25kg Diedrich roaster and moved production into a dedicated facility to begin supplying wholesale customers. In 2013, Drop Coffee became the official supplier of Kalita brewing equipment in Sweden, and we’ve been brewing together ever since.

In 2018, we relocated our roastery to Rosersberg, just north of Stockholm, where we currently operate as a certified organic roaster. Our coffee bar remains in its original location, although it has gradually expanded in size to accommodate our growing customer base.

Today, Joanna Alm and Stephen Leighton are co-owners of Drop Coffee and run the company with help from a small but mighty team of skilled roasters and baristas. Joanna is a three-time Swedish Coffee Roasting Champion who has repeatedly ranked among the top three roasters in the world. She also authored the book Manifest För Bättre Kaffe (Manifest for Better Coffee).

RAW COFFEE & SUSTAINABILITY

It all begins with the coffee growers. This is why we only purchase fully transparent coffee from single farms and cooperatives that we’ve personally visited. With help of a sustainability attorney, we have created detailed internal criteria to guide us through the entire buying process and ensure fair practices for all involved. We primarily focus on the origin countries of Bolivia, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, Ethiopia and Kenya, as we find their quality standards to be most aligned with ours.

At home in Sweden, Drop Coffee is a proud member of the national trade union HRF. Our roasting facility is certified organic and almost all of the ingredients we use in our café are locally produced on a small scale and are organic whenever possible.

In 2021, we published our first annual sustainability report, something we’re very proud of and intend to continue doing yearly to help keep us and those we work with accountable.

Our ideal cup is clean and bright, with the varietal’s origin and personality at front and centre. To achieve this, we stick to a light to medium roast profile, tailored to bring forth as much of the bean’s natural acidity and sweetness as possible. Some coffees will inherently taste acidic and juicy, while others will feel more creamy and chocolatey. Regardless, we always roast for utmost clarity, consistency and maximum flavour, making all our coffees equally exceptional for every brewing method.

RECOGNITION

Part of our work is to attend coffee competitions, where we get to put our knowledge and skills to the test in real time. Joanna has represented Drop at the World Coffee Roasting Championship on multiple occasions and members of our team have also won several titles including:

Silver & Bronze in World Coffee Roasting Championships
4x Winner of Swedish Roaster Championship
