Aurora Natural, Espresso - Nicaragua

Dr. Enrique Ferrufino, a surgeon by trade, was born and raised on a coffee farm in the Matagalpa Mountains. Together with his wife Silvia, a pediatrician, the Ferrufino family decided to go into the coffee business in 1992 and bought Finca Aurora in 2004. They inspired their three children with a love of coffee from a young age. The whole family works together to produce great coffee using methods that work in concert with the local ecosystem. The preservation of nature is a top priority for the Ferrufino family. They use only renewable energy and work diligently to conserve water resources and natural habitats. The farm is home to a variety of native trees, home to many species of birds and wildlife. These trees also provide shade for planting and fertilize soils with organic matter,  protecting the land from erosion, droughts, and floods.

One of the company's core values is to inspire people through coffee. Over the years, they have invested in providing workers with fair wages, safe living conditions, health services, food, and education.

Finca Aurora is one of the first farms in Nicaragua with a fully integrated coffee farm on site. They produce, wash and dry coffee on the farm. The coffee is produced, sorted and bagged at Beneficio Finca Aurora under the watchful eye of the farm team. This allows for full quality control throughout the process.
