Finca Costa Rica - Colombia

About Finca Costa Rica

A quarter of a century ago, Faver Ninco began his coffee journey, learning most of what he knows from his father and neighbors. Then, a handful of years ago, he became interested in specialty coffee, which conveniently came in conjunction with his four children wanting to become involved in their coffee operation.

Now, each of the family members owns their own coffee plants and selects the varieties they want to grow to contribute to the growth of the farm. We think that’s such a fun way to encourage excitement and allow ownership over their plants. In fact, one of his daughters is the youngest member of The Coffee Quest (who we sourced this coffee through) team in Colombia and oversees the whole buying station in Santa Maria, analyzing and cupping each coffee for quality.

Between the family, they have nearly 20,000 trees and grow varieties such as caturra, pink bourbon, geisha, papayo, and java. This lot is a lovely blend of varieties across all his fields. During the fermentation phase of processing, specific yeast strains are added to the water the coffee is soaking in, which accentuates beautiful floral and tropical flavors in the final cup. 

This lot showcases the classic characteristics of high-grown Colombian coffees — complex sweetness and captivating acidity, tasting of the juicy strawberry, sweet honey, and delicate florals. It’s a special coffee from a special family and we’re thrilled to be a small part in bringing this beautiful brew to you!
