The story of Finca Rustica is the kind we love to tell.
Ruben is a super motivated producer in San Ignacio among some of our longer standing partnerships.
His farm is incredibly steep and is situated a bit lower in altitude than some of his more established and successful neighbors like Pablo Yana and Porfilio Mamani from whom we’ve sourced stellar coffees for a decade. There is a real challenge here but Ruben keeps showing up with his giant smile and a small t-shirt.
First the coffees were just on the bubble of being acceptable for our quality standards. After faithfully following the advice of our agronomist friends each season there was a marked improvement.
The coffee made its way into our blends and now stands alone all grown up and ready to make new friends!
