Finca Santa Sofia is a 4-hectare farm founded in 2005 as a variety garden project that experimented with processes and techniques. The farm is focused on growing high-quality coffee while maintaining sustainable practices. They grow Gesha, Pacamara, Java, Purpuracea, Pink Bourbon, Anacafe 14, Caturra, SL-28, Mokka, Abbysinia, Dilla Algue, and Laurina varieties. They also implement a wide variety of processing methods, including washed, honey, and natural processes, as well as anaerobic processes, extended fermentations, and carbonic maceration.

This selection of coffee was processed with an anaerobic fermentation step then washed. It consists entirely of the Pacamara variety which is known for its large beans and frequently high-scorings in cup of excellence competitions. This coffee is incredibly unique with hints of grape juice, meyer lemon, and amaretto.
