Finca Hawaii
A great coffee with an Interesting connection to Hawaii. Finca Hawaii is a farm in Cundinamarca operated by Cafe Granja La Esperanza. Currently over seen by Rigoberto Herrera Correa and his brother Luis. Their Grandfather started farming coffee in Cauca, where they also still have farms. In 2007 They also acquired a farm in Panama, growing the geisha variety. They brought seeds from this farm to Colombia and by 2012 their Cerro Azul farm began winning many awards with it. The brothers have focused on growing several varieties that produce excellent quality.
Rigoberto was able to acquire some seeds of the Mokka variety grown in Kāʻanapali, Maui. These seeds were planted at a new 12 hectare farm in Cundinamarca, which they named 'Finca Hawaii' after the source of the Mokka seeds. Most of this coffee they process as a natural, dried as whole cherries. We chose a lot that was anaerobically fermented for 3 days before being dried over 6 days in drying machines.
Mokka Variety
Mokka is a name given to several genetically distinct small bean size varieties. Such plants have very small fruits and seeds and small narrow leaves compared to other coffee varieties. Some of these varieties are derived from populations of coffee in Yemen which are related to the Typica and Bourbon varieties. Mokka can also be a dwarf mutation of the Bourbon Variety. This Mutation and the similar dwarf mutant plant called Laurina or Bourbon Pointu are natural low in caffeine. 50% lower than most arabica varieties. some Mokka plants are hybrids with other varieties that maintain the small seed size of the Mokka parent (such as the Mokkita at Mama Cata Estate in Panama which genetic fingerprinting suggests is a hybrid of Mokka and Geisha T.2722)
The Mokka variety grown in Kāʻanapali, Maui (and thus at Finca Hawaii) is a plant Brazilian agronomists call "Tall Mokka' believed to be a cross of a Mokka plant and Typica.
