About this coffee
We sourced this coffee through Cata Export in France. We met the owner of Cata – Cat- at World of Coffee in Copenhagen in 2024. We got talking and she gave us a small (15 gram) sample of a coffee. She was very confident we would like it. After a few days, when we came back from the fair we brewed the coffee and were amazed by the flavour and complexity of the coffee. After contact with Cat, we learned this lot (sadly) was only 35kgs, so it got sold out so quickly that we didn’t even have time to publish it in the website. The good news is that we immediately reserve the next (fortunately bigger) crop, so that everyone can enjoy it!
In 2017 Fernando Bocanegra is motivated by a great friend of his to start growing coffee. This friend had great experience working in several coffee farms in different roles. Fernando thought about it a lot and finally decided to leave his profession (chef) aside and devote himself to the great world of coffee growing.
They found a farm with exceptional climate and soil conditions, where they knew they would start their new project. El Oasis farm is located at 2,150 meters above sea level in the municipality of Ortega-Tolima. For 6 years, very high quality coffees have been produced at El Oasis. Fernando is dedicated to coffee – the idea that motivated them was always to undertake something different, that would stand out above the traditional coffee production in the area.
For this natural Geisha lot the cherries and handpicked and selected to only keep the ripest ones. After picking, the cherries are floated to remove floaters and foreign matter. Once this is finished, the cherries undergo a short (12h) anaerobic fermentation in plastic tanks at a temperature of 20 – 22 degrees. Then cherries are dried in marquesinas for 18 – 20 days at an average temperature of 27 degrees – stirring the coffee four times a day for even drying.
The result is an incredibly sweet, clean and complex cup of coffee. Expect flavours of grapefruit, rose petals and cherry
