La Fany, Natural, Orange Bourbon

Description

Roasted August 3, 2026 Finca La Fany is a family inheritance for the Da Silva Family and dates back to the early 1900s. It was first established by Fabio Morán and then passed on through the generations from father to son. The beautiful farm is located on top of the Apaneca-Illamatepec Mountain Range, at 1,500 masl,  2 miles from the city of Apaneca. It received its name because of one of Rafael’s ancestors, called Fany. In the early 1990s, Raphael and Carmen had the opportunity to buy this great family heirloom from one of his aunts, and of course, they bought it.     Originally, the farm was 100% Bourbon, but they have been experimenting with new varieties on a small scale. Still today, Bourbon remains the number one variety. They are very much committed to this farm as being the fifth generation in the family to have control over this land. Carmen told me that one of her proudest moments was in 2005 when La Fany Red Bourbon achieved the 4th place in the COE.  It’s a farm that both me and Steve have spent a lot of time on and Steve has been buying this coffee since 2003 (yes he is that old)  Since 2017, 13,000 new Pacamara trees were planted along with 40,000 new seedlings, composed of Red Bourbon, Orange Bourbon, Pacamara, Geisha, Yellow Icatu, and Yellow Caturra.
