We began our relationship with Finca El Ocaso in early 2015. A young Colombian-American entrepreneur named Daniel Velasquez had recently started an import/export company called Campesino Specialty Coffee, and he was approaching roasters throughout the mid-Atlantic to pitch the single coffee in his portfolio: the Finca El Ocaso Classico — a blended harvest from the Salento, Colombia farm.
Finca El Nogal owner, Noralba Velandia and her three children personally see to every aspect of El Nogal’s production, from cultivation, to harvest, to processing, and finished product.
