Faver Ninco / Finca Costa Rica
This pristine lot has an incredibly warm and complex range of juicy acidity upfront, with some tropical pineapple and stone fruit qualities to round out the cup.
Finca Costa Rica is located in Santa María, Huila, Colombia and is owned and run by Faver Ninco and his family. The farm sits at an elevation of 2,005 MASL. and consists of 10 hectares with approximately 19,900 coffee trees in total, The 19,900 trees are the following varieties: 5,000 Caturra, 8,000 Pink Bourbon, 2,200 Geisha, 3,000 Papayo and 1,700 Java.
Faver’s coffee journey began about 25 years ago, when he learned everything he knows about coffee production from his father and neighbors. About six years ago, he became very interested in coffee varieties and specialty coffee. His four children also were involved in this process, and now they all participate in the farm´s production; each of them owns their own coffee plants and carefully selects the varieties they want to grow to contribute to the family’s economy and their own.

Sorting Level
11-11.5%
All our roasted coffees are run through an AI-powered optical sorter. This extra step ensures that you receive only the most nutrient-dense, flavorful coffees from each lot. The machine is also capable of removing any foreign objects (corn, metals, rope, to name a few) from the rest of the coffees.
The higher the percentage, the more coffee is being removed in order to achieve a truly pristine product. We liken this to how sake-makers "polish" during production in order to reach a higher-quality product.
Nothing goes to waste: the rejected coffees are re-roasted and sold to local markets.
