About this Coffee
Don’t let this washed Caturra go under your radar. It’s gentle yet packed with flavour—our perfect everydayer.
David Nuñez started in coffee as a cherry picker. He went from farm to farm, following the harvest and looking for the farmers that offered the best price per kilogram of cherries. After saving enough money, he eventually acquired a farm.
Finca El Cafetal is extremely well organized. David manages all the coffee production while his wife, Betty, is in charge of the accounting and finances and helps out during harvest. Their focus is on profitability, which ensures sustainable wages for everyone—that’s why they started farming specialty coffee in 2017.
This direction has been fruitful so far: the profit has allowed them to purchase more land, increase the scale of operations and make a worthy living. They also recently improved the drying infrastructure, which directly impacted the quality of his coffee.
David believes that “if you work hard and with attention to detail, you can achieve great things and go far.”
