Finca Himalaya is located in the renowned Santa Ana region, situated in the Apaneca mountain range at an altitude of 1,500 meters. It is one of the few estates managed by Aida Batlle. The main variety cultivated is Bourbon.

The coffee beans produced by this estate undergo washed processing at El Divisadero processing plant in Ataco, under the ownership of Mauricio Salaverria. They are then evenly dried through sun-drying and ventilation on African raised beds. Mauricio inherited his parents' and grandparents' business and has been involved with coffee since childhood, with a particular focus on specialty coffee cultivation.

About Project Origin

Sasa Sestic, the 2015 World Barista Champion, launched the Project Origin green bean sourcing program three years ago with his business team at ONA Coffee. This project directly collaborates with coffee farmers in impoverished countries and regions, improving their production conditions and offering them purchase prices 20% higher than fair trade prices.

The original intention behind this project also includes strengthening the connection between roasters and coffee farmers, while guiding farmers to cultivate high-quality coffee beans. To date, Sasa has established relationships with coffee growers from eight countries, including Brazil, Panama, India, Ethiopia, El Salvador, and Costa Rica.

Bourbon Variety

Bourbon coffee was initially cultivated on Réunion Island, which was known as Île Bourbon before 1789. Simply put, Bourbon is a coffee variety belonging to the Arabica species branch. It generally produces red fruits, called Red Bourbon. In addition, there are Yellow Bourbon and Orange Bourbon. Yellow Bourbon has relatively lower yields but better quality.

Typica Variety

Typica is one of the oldest varieties among many Arabica species. Also known as the old variety small-bean coffee, it has low yields and is difficult to cultivate, making it much more expensive than regular small-bean coffee. Typica coffee originates from southeastern Ethiopia and Sudan and is the most widely cultivated coffee variety in the Western Hemisphere.
