About: For six generations, the Silva family has nurtured coffee cultivation at Finca La Fany. Originating in the early 1900s through the efforts of Fabio Morán, this legacy has persevered through the ages. By the early 1990s, when Rafael Sr. assumed stewardship of the land, La Fany had already earned distinction for producing some of the finest coffee in the region. Today, the Silva family continues to uphold this rich heritage while embracing novel, sustainable agricultural methodologies to safeguard the farm's vitality for generations to come. Rafael has instituted a vermicompost program that generates organic compost directly on the farm, thereby significantly reducing the reliance on chemical fertilizers. Pacamara, a hybrid of Pacas and Maragogipe, developed through the efforts of the Salvadorian Institute of Coffee Research, boasts sizeable beans and a distinctive flavor profile that sets it apart from less exotic varieties.
