Honduras – Fincas Mierisch Cerro Azul

They have been in Honduras, their adoptive home, since the end of 2011. After Erwin Jr.’s remarkable experience with Cup of Excellence Honduras 2010, he recognized the incredible potential for specialty coffee cultivation in the country. Following a chance opportunity to purchase a farm called Cerro Azul, Erwin Jr. seized it without hesitation. Since then, the operation has expanded to two additional adjacent farms: Santa Lucia and Lalita.

In Honduras, their presence is centered near the community of Río Blanco in the municipality of Siguatepeque, within the Comayagua department. All three farms in Honduras are located at higher altitudes than any of their farms in Nicaragua. Erwin Jr.’s vision and dedication were rewarded with first-place finishes in the Cup of Excellence Honduras in 2019 and 2022, both achieved with a Washed Gesha from Santa Lucia.
