Sabio Coffee – Quality, Sustainability, and Responsibility from Nicaragua
Sabio Coffee is a family-owned Nicaraguan coffee company that combines a passion for coffee, sustainable farming, and a responsible approach toward both people and nature. The company owns and manages several farms, the most renowned being Finca Aurora in the mountainous region of Matagalpa.
Founded by Dr. Enrique Ferrufino and his wife Silvia, both from medical backgrounds and families with a long coffee-growing tradition, Sabio Coffee was established after they purchased Finca Aurora in 2004. Their vision was to create a project that unites quality, transparency, and long-term sustainability.
Finca Aurora – The Heart of Sabio Coffee
Situated at over 1,200 meters above sea level, Finca Aurora benefits from ideal conditions for cultivating specialty Arabica coffee. The farm operates as part of a fully vertically integrated system, meaning Sabio Coffee oversees the entire process—from cultivation, harvesting, and processing to packaging and export. This guarantees consistent quality and transparency at every step.
The farms grow varieties such as Parainema, Icatú, Geisha, Caturra, Java, Maracaturra, and Pacamara. All cherries are hand-picked and sorted, ensuring specialty-grade quality with SCA scores of 82–90+. The Ferrufino family also invests heavily in research and innovation in processing methods, using everything from traditional washed and honey processes to modern anaerobic fermentations with wine yeasts.
Sustainability and Certifications
Environmental protection and landscape preservation are key priorities for Sabio Coffee. All farms operate on renewable energy sources—solar, hydro, and biomass—and the company is actively working toward carbon neutrality.
The coffee is shade-grown under native trees that protect the soil, retain water, and support biodiversity. For every acre of cultivated land, at least one acre of forest is preserved.
Thanks to these efforts, Sabio Coffee is Rainforest Alliance Certified, confirming its commitment to responsible and sustainable agriculture.
People and Community
Sabio Coffee builds fair and long-term relationships with its workers. The company provides 150 permanent and over 500 seasonal jobs, offering employees safe housing, meals, healthcare, and education for their children.
The Ferrufino family also works closely with small local farmers, helping them improve production practices. This support strengthens local communities and contributes to the economic stability of the region.
