Los Altos is a coffee that lies at the core of who we are. We’ve worked with the brilliant Mierisch family for over 12 years, a Direct Trade relationship based on a commitment to quality and progress. Full-bodied, with soft acidity, Los Altos remains as popular today as ever—with good reason.

Los Altos is a geographically dynamic farm composed of just over 70 hectares of rolling hills at the base of Kilambé Mountain. Each time we arrive here, we’re greeted by the workers who come together to create this incredible crop, from coffee growers to pickers.

This coffee is roasted to showcase the relationship between the farm and roastery by highlighting the unique markers of terroir, and imparting our identity on the final cup. This creates a coffee that is approachable, familiar and full of flavour. In the cup there is a soft acidity, full body and creamy finish with comforting notes of milk chocolate and caramel.

A Commitment to Excellence

Championing speciality coffee from every angle, at every step of the journey. Starting at the source and working with the seasons. Holding ourselves accountable to the highest standards of social and environmental performance. Every sip of our coffee is a result of years of dedication to seasonality, provenance and sustainability.

Producer

The Mierisch family has a rich history in the coffee industry that dates to 1908, establishing themselves as prominent coffee growers and producers. Yet it was only 21 years ago that Senior Erwin Mierisch, the son of Dr. Erwin Mierisch, began focusing on producing speciality coffee. This shift came about when Senior Erwin Mierisch participated in a Nicaraguan coffee competition, where he translated for his father.

Origin

Sitting on the borders of Honduras and Costa Rica, Nicaragua is the largest country in Central America. Despite its size, Nicaragua’s coffee regions are nestled in a small northern pocket of the country, where unique micro-climates, diverse terrain, and a deep commitment to sustainable solutions has not only rescued a volatile industry, but propelled it into the world of speciality coffee. Consistent in quality, Nicaraguan coffee is well-regarded for its sweeter chocolate and nut flavours, as well as floral notes, and a clean, bright citric acidity.

Great every day coffee!
This is a great choice for an every day coffee, very drinkable and would be popular for all coffee drinkers. I have it on subscription and it’s always reliable for my morning filter!

Delicious
I'm new to drinking coffee and after searching came across Origin. Being originally from Cornwall myself I wanted to support them. Only afterwards did I see that they've won best European roasters 2 years in a row! Nice. And when the coffee arrived it did not disappoint. I've made it for a couple of friends who are serious drinkers and they've both said it was delicious. Definitely will continue to support and learn more about coffee in the process.

Fantastic Coffee
I haven’t tried a wide range of Origin coffees as yet, but loving this one - have used it primarily for my stove top, but also great finely ground in my espresso machine
