Nicaragua Finca Aurora Natural

Dr. Enrique Ferrufino, a surgeon by trade, was born and
raised on a coffee farm in the mountains of Matagalpa in
1956. Together with his wife Silvia, a pediatrician, the
Ferrufino family decided to go into the coffee business in
1992 and bought Finca Aurora in 2004. They inspired in
their three children a love for coffee from a very early
age. Since they acquired Finca Aurora, the whole family
has worked together to produce great coffee. This
Parainema lot, a dwarf variety from the Sarchimor family,
is fruity and chocolatey with stone fruit.

One of the core values of the business is to inspire
people through coffee. Throughout the years they have
invested in providing workers with fair wages, safe living
conditions, health services, food and education. They
also work with smaller producers in the area to help
them improve their farming practices.

Preserving nature is a top priority for the Ferrufino
family. They only use renewable energy and work
diligently on conserving water resources and natural
habitats. The farm houses a variety of native trees, home
to many species of birds and wildlife. These trees also
provide the plantation with shade and fertilize the soils
with organic matter, which protects the land from
erosion, droughts and floods.

From the Finca Aurora farm, we have selected the Parainema variety for you, processed using the natural method. Parainema was first bred by IHCAFE (Instituto Hondureño del Café) in the 1980s. Part of the Sarchimor family, Parainema is coffee leaf rust (CLR) resistant. It
does well at medium altitudes and is a dwarf plant, which allows farmers to plant trees more densely to maximize yield per hectare.

For our coffee, we use recyclable bags, which are more suitable for the coffee, or tubes. The choice of packaging is up to you.

The tubes are great as gift packaging. We would be happy if you reused the tubes for other things (for pencils, glasses, etc.), or if you bring the tube back when you come for more coffee.
