People with names
Behind each of our coffees are people with names: Massimo Barnabà selects our green coffees — he knows the farms, the harvest years, the hands behind them. Sandro Bonacchi, our sensory specialist, cups every origin with him before it becomes one. Samuele Bonacchi roasts them — with over forty years of experience in exceptional coffees. On the farms we are accompanied by Leonello Anello, biodynamic agronomist; Fitsum Bekere runs the Golden Farm in Ethiopia; Héctor Luis Marin — a farmer by passion and a profound connoisseur of his region — runs Finca Mariposa in Peru and also advises Fiadanana and the Golden Farm as consulting agronomist; and in Madagascar, Avotra Rabearisoa — Avo — is building a plantation with us where there was nothing before.
No carousel of buyers, no anonymous lots: the same people, year after year.
Finca La Victoria
For over a hundred years the Lechuga family has been growing coffee in the Sierra Norte de Puebla; Efraín Lechuga runs the finca today in the fourth generation, and our coffee from there is a single variety: Oro Azteca.
