Faver grew up in a traditional coffee growing family and always wanted to become a coffee producer. 25 years ago, he had saved enough to purchase a piece of land in Santa María, Huila, and start realising that dream. Finca Costa Rica has since become his family's home and their only source of income. Along with his wife, Andrea Riveros, he works hard to keep their home beautiful and sustainable, and to invest in the infrastructure to produce better coffee. Andrea provides food for the workers and takes care of the drying process, constantly moving the parchment and making sure the coffee reaches its ideal humidity level. As a partnership, Andrea and Faver have become role models for other farmers in the region.
Whole beans or pre-ground?
Coffee deteriorates much faster once it is ground, making whole beans the ideal way to purchase coffee. If you don't have a grinder though, all good!
