From the producer

Erwin “Wingo” Jr Mierisch is the named producer of Drop Coffee’s 2026 Las Delicias Natural Java. Drop describes Las Delicias as his first farm; its farm history separately notes that the late Eleane Mierisch previously ran the property.

From the roaster

Drop Coffee describes a sherry aroma and a sweet, slightly boozy and floral cup, with papaya, cacao, rum raisin and a fudge-like finish.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This fresh-crop 2026 lot joins a distinct Java variety, a high-elevation Jinotega farm and a traditional natural process. It also clarifies the farm’s present stewardship by Erwin “Wingo” Jr Mierisch while preserving Eleane Mierisch’s historical role.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Natural process

The coffee cherry remained whole through drying; Drop identifies the lot as natural but does not publish the drying surface, duration or any controlled fermentation stage.

What was added?

Nothing is documented as added during processing.

What wasn't added?

No fruit, flavoring, microbes or other additions are disclosed.

Why it matters

Drying coffee in the whole fruit can emphasize ripe-fruit sweetness and a fuller, more fermentation-forward profile.

What you might taste

Drop’s published direction is sherry-like, floral and sweet, with papaya, cacao, rum raisin and fudge.

Coffee profile

In the database. Not tasted. Not scored.

This coffee is in our database because we can reliably document it — but we haven't tasted and scored it yet, and we never publish a score we haven't earned.

Outside reviews and internet discussion — is kept clearly separate from our own review. When we taste it, our full review appears here.

The internet pulse

What the internet is saying about this coffee

Research complete — no qualifying reviews yet

Our research pipeline scanned public reviews, videos, forums and discussions for this coffee (last pass 2026-10-25) and found no independent review of this exact release that meets our verification standards. When qualifying sources appear, they'll be published here.

What we found

Non-exact, seller, directory, generic-roaster, different-release, duplicate, and older-release sources were excluded. No qualifying independent exact-release review remains.

Until then, meet the people behind it:

Same coffee, different roaster?

Other roasters, same producer.

These coffees come from the same producer or farm, offered by other roasters. We never automatically declare two offerings the exact same coffee — a match requires lot, harvest and traceability details. Even a true same-lot pair can taste different: roast approach, freshness, rest and brewing all reshape the cup.
