Producer
Juan Felipe Ocampo transformed an abandoned farm into a thriving specialty coffee sanctuary. Beyond coffee production, he dedicates 200 acres to a natural reserve, protecting native ecosystems and endangered species like Andean bears. His philosophy of passionate, purposeful agriculture drives every aspect of Finca La Reserva's operations.
Process
The anaerobic honey process represents a meticulous approach to coffee fermentation. By carefully controlling oxygen exposure during two distinct fermentation stages—first with the cherry, then after pulping—Juan Felipe creates an environment that intensifies the coffee's inherent characteristics while developing remarkable new flavor dimensions.
Tasting Notes
A delicate and juicy coffee revealing layers of yellow fruits, rhubarb, and bright citrus, beautifully balanced by a honey-like sweetness and subtle white flower notes. Minimum resting period: 8 days for filter roast
