About the producer
Finca Los Higuerones gets its name from the huge Higuerones trees (Golden Fig) with exposed roots, that grow along the northeast side of the farm. This 18-hectare farm sits at 1250 MASL is managed by Martin Padilla and Coopelibertad. Finca Los Higuerones is certified by Nama Café, a Costa Rican project that is focused to reduce the environmental impact that is produced by coffee farming and processing.
The Obata variety descends from Sarchimor and Mundo Novo. Obata is known to have large yields whilst being Coffee Leaf Rust resistant. However, it is demanding in terms of nutrients and management.
About the Roaster
Modus on sustainability:
‘We believe that when it comes to the coffee industry, we need to be proactive in ensuring the future of delicious, high-quality coffee. In September last year the c-market price hit below $1 USD/lb (for the first time in over 10 years, and since the middle of February this year, the price has been consistently sitting well below this mark – and in some cases, depending on origin, this is far below the production cost for producing good coffee.’
