Finca Kassandra, originally a cattle station, began growing coffee on 1990 with the intention of producing Estate Quality coffees. The climate, with an annual average temperature of 22ºC and good rainfall of 1400 – 2000mm proved ideal. By 2003, the size of Finca Kassandra had increased enough to build its own dry mill.
The Rivas family are also ecologically aware and have set aside 27 hectares of rain forest for local birds and wildlife to flourish. A huge tree planting program has been underway across the plantation to the benefit of the coffee and birdlife. Coffee is all handpicked.
