Erwin “Wingo” Jr Mierisch

Erwin “Wingo” Mierisch is a fifth-generation producer with Fincas Mierisch in Nicaragua. The family’s official team page says he works in quality control and client relations and has contributed to post-harvest processing, roasting, cupping, green-coffee sales, and quality-control protocols.

History

Fincas Mierisch traces its coffee operation to 1908 and says Wingo became involved with the farms in 2017 after a brief period working as a barista in New York City. The family’s Las Delicias farm placed fourth in the 2017 Nicaragua Cup of Excellence; that result belongs to the farm, not to an individual tasting score.
