Faver Ninco's coffees permeate with lush red and stone-fruit character. His coffees continuously display stewed-nectarine aeromatics. This year's lot of his Pink Bourbon is BIG, with loads of juicy acidity to compliment the sucrose. There is a pleasant tart and nip of mandarin at cooler stages. Overall, this coffee is big bodied, loud with fruit and the structure is fortified with a pleasant pink cherry acidity.

Finca Costa Rica is Faver's farm in the mountains of Santa María, Huila. He owns and runs Finca Costa Rica with his family.  Faver's coffee journey began about 25 years ago, when he learned everything he knows about coffee production from his father and neighbors. About six years ago, he became very interested in coffee varietals and specialty coffee. His four children also were involved in this process, and now they all participate in the farm´s production; each of them owns their own coffee plants and selects very carefully the varietals they want to grow to contribute to the family’s economy and their own. 

Approximately 3 people are employed year-round by Finca Costa Rica, and between 8 and 10 pickers are needed during the harvest. Banana trees, avocados, and vegetables are also grown on the farm for the family's consumption. They have a forest reserve that is about 1.5 hectares in size, and they are very protective of the wild animals and water springs there.
