The Story Behind L53 Estate SHG EP

Nicaragua La Virgen Estate Java ML LIFT Green Coffee Beans from Mercon Specialty

We source this regional SHG from L53 Family Estates, a Nicaraguan producer and exporter built on family tradition, agricultural experience, and a clear commitment to quality. Their work brings together careful farm management, selective harvest practices, and washed processing that preserves clarity and balance in the cup.

For the 2026 harvest we purchased two containers of this lot based on its consistency and dependable profile. It offers good body, clean and well balanced structure, medium citric acidity, and a smooth finish that performs well across roast styles.

Partnering with L53 allows us to offer a traceable and reliable Nicaraguan SHG that reflects the values of the growers and their connection to the land. It is a steady and versatile coffee that supports both blends and single origin offerings.
