Colombia Ocampos

The journey begins with hand-harvested coffee beans, which are then subjected to a rigorous selection process led by local women. Using a water float test, only the ripest cherries are chosen to ensure the highest quality of coffee.

After selection, Cafe Ocampos ferments the coffee for 12-18 hours, depending on the weather, in tanks to develop its unique flavor profile. During this process, the bacteria and yeast present in the environment break down the natural sugars present in the coffee cherries, creating a unique and complex taste.

Following fermentation, the coffee is mechanically dried using low temperatures and resting periods to simulate day and night drying conditions. This stabilizes the water activity within the bean, allowing water to move from the inside to the outside of the bean and ensuring even roasting and a longer shelf life.

After 36 hours at 40 degrees Celsius, the coffee beans stabilize for 2 weeks to 1 month, allowing the flavors to fully develop. The beans then proceed to the dry mill for parchment and cherry skin removal. Guided by preselected quality standards, Cafe Ocampos' milling process is carried out with the utmost care and attention, ensuring that each bean is processed to perfection.

The unique fermentation process is what sets Cafe Ocampos' coffee apart, delivering a complex and rich flavor profile that's perfect for coffee enthusiasts who crave something special. Experience the exceptional quality and flavor of Cafe Ocampos' coffee today.
