Néstor Javier Fúnez Rodríguez, a fourth-generation coffee producer from Comayagua, Honduras, manages Finca El Río, a 2.8-hectare farm cultivating Catuaí, Lempira, and Parainema. The farm sits under abundant shade with native trees that support biodiversity and healthy soils. Since 2014, Néstor has dedicated himself fully to coffee, overcoming challenges such as leaf rust, landslides, and drought to build a resilient specialty operation.
The Fúnez family works as a close team. During wet milling and drying, the siblings take their lead from Ariel Fúnez, who oversees quality. Néstor also benefits from his sister Lila Fúnez, whose coffee cupping training enhances quality control and helps elevate every microlot the family produces.
Néstor dedicates careful attention to farm management, fertilization, and shade tree maintenance, blending traditional practices with modern techniques to ensure every harvest reaches specialty quality. He aims to sell 100% of his coffee as specialty grade, bypassing middlemen and producing lots that showcase the farm’s potential for extraordinary coffee.
Each cup from Finca El Río reflects the discipline, care, and unity of the Fúnez family, showcasing the passion and expertise that define a new generation of Honduran coffee producers.
