It is a reliably steady, comfortable and delicious coffee. The chocolatey and round flavour profile is a favourite of many, and Limoncillo really delivers on those notes, along with hints of roasted hazelnut and the sweetness of toffee. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eIt will still be roasted to a light roast level, so remember to use a high temperature, between 96 - 98 degrees when you brew it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLimoncillo is produced by the formidable, award-winning Mierisch family in Nicaragua, whose work in farming,  processing and sustainability we really look up to. Limoncillo has a nursery for their staffs' children and a lot of health support for the staff, but also its nature, with no less than seven waterfalls on the farm makes it unique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the farm Limoncillo\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFinca Limoncillo is located in Matagalpa, beautifully situated with nine waterfalls within the farm. With 109 hectares of coffee trees, Limoncillo is a big farm in comparison to the other coffees we buy from Central America, that are all about 5-10 hectare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe coffee is washed and separated by density directly at the farm, which is common practice in Nicaragua \u003cem\u003ebefore\u003c\/em\u003e it is taken by truck to the family-owned process station. At the processing station the coffee is de-pulped (beans removed from the coffee cherry), fermented overnight and dried on raised beds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mierisch family is doing a lot of work in Nicaragua and Honduras. They produce a lot of coffee and they do so in a very responsible way. On the impacts reports we do during our visits to farms, they tick all of the boxes, from social projects, how to treat materials to discrimination policies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mierisch family has become good friends of ours, and also well-respected producers in Nicaragua. They’re known for their experimental processing, varietal work, and exceptional coffee. Las Delicias, that we also buy, is produced by one of the daughters, Eleane Mierisch individually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Sustainability at Limoncillo\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Mierisch family are very active in social projects around the farms. They have a full-time kitchen staff on-site, to make breakfast and lunch every day, with 1000 tortillas going out per day. They have also built daycare centres and schools for their worker's children, located at the farms. Children helping their families at the farms is common in Nicaragua, but instead, they are asked to go to the school or leave the kids at the daycare as they are working. The workers are also offered help with family planning and medical advice from specialized staff. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe employers pay their staff 30% more than what is typical minimum wage, as well as:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvide free housing for 60 families on their farms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvide free electricity and running water for their homes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvide free food for all workers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHave free daycare facilities for families to use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvide free health care facilities on the farms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmployee on-site teachers who educate their staff and teach other skills such as pottery and weaving.
