The Ferrufino family acquired Finca Aurora, in the Matagalpa region of Nicaragua, in 2004. The whole family works together to produce great quality coffee using methods that work in harmony with the local ecosystem; conserving water resources and nature habitats, and using only renewable energy on site. 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 fertilise the soils with organic matter, which protects the land from erosion, droughts and floods. This Parainema lot, a dwarf variety from the Sarchimor family, is testament to the family's commitment to producing high quality coffee. After selective handpicking, the coffee cherries are laid to dry on drying beds or patios on the farm. The cherry is raked frequently to ensure even drying, which takes approximately 25 days in total. Finca Aurora is one of the first farms in Nicaragua with a fully integrated coffee operation on-site. They produce, wash and dry the coffee at the farm. The coffee is milled, sorted and bagged at Beneficio Finca Aurora under the watchful eye of the farm’s team. This allows full control over the quality throughout the process.
