Story & Origin

Edward Sandoval, a former FNC field tech, broke away to start Finca Canta Ranas with a vision: cultivate heirloom and specialty varieties needing extra care—Chiroso, Wush Wush, Gesha, and Moka. This Chiroso lot is a rare rediscovery from Tolima’s highlands at 1,850 meters. Scientifically linked to Ethiopian landraces, its flavor profile of florals, fruit, and tea recalls its exotic heritage and earned acclaim in the 2012 Colombia Cup of Excellence. Today, Sandoval's small 3‑hectare farm continues to elevate quality in every bag.
