Farm History
Anyone wanting to marvel at nature in Costa Rica must visit Chirripó. The country's highest mountain is known for its magnificent views and beautiful nature – and recently, more and more coffee farms have been settling there.
In 2022, Johnny Marin joined Finca El Nido, bringing a clear vision for Specialty Coffee. There's still a lot to do on the farm: A large part was planted by horse in 2021, as there were no roads into the steep slopes of the area; by now, the remote forest areas can be reached in an adventurous manner by pickup. Johnny and his partner Mouses demonstrate what they can achieve with spirit and ambition, and were able to place their coffee at the Cup of Excellence in Costa Rica in 2023, a year after joining forces.
We are excited to present coffee from this young project and wish you much fun drinking it.
