Rogue Wave – Finca Las Flores Decaf

This DECAF lot comes to us from Jhoan Vergara at Finca Las Flores.

Finca Las Flores started as a dream in 1990 when Edilberto Vergara and Nubia Ayure planted their first coffee trees. With just 2 hectares dedicated to coffee, they worked hard to build a future for their family. By 1998, the farm was fully planted, and their five children—Xiomara, Leonardo, Carlos, Jhoan, and Diego—grew up immersed in the rhythms of coffee farming. In 2006, Nubia’s passion and dedication led her to the Cup of Excellence, where she placed 16th—an achievement that encouraged the family to dive deeper into specialty coffee.

Today, the farm stands as a model of sustainability, innovation, and commitment to excellence. Jhoan continues to push boundaries, not only perfecting coffee production but also sharing knowledge with future generations. For him, every cup of coffee is an opportunity to tell a story—a story of hard work, passion and a deep love for the land.
