ABOUT THE FARM

Omar Cardenas Benavides owns the 11 hectare Finca La Esperanza and Finca Yarumal in the Acevedo region of Huila, Colombia.  This gorgeous farm has clay loam / volcanic soil and breathtaking terrain. Omar has planted nearly 30,000 trees and takes a very diligent approach to processing. They pick the ripest cherries every 15-20 days during harvest, use traditional pulpers, then dry ferment the coffee for 18-20 hours and rinse the coffee 3 times with clean water before drying in parabolic dryers for up to 18 days depending on weather. 

From Omar: 

When I was 7 years old my father helped me planting 300 coffee trees; he gave me a piece of land as an inheritance and when I got married, with the help of my wife, I bought another 4 hectares of land, which I also planted with coffee. Thanks to coffee I was able to pay for the education of my children, and I am proud to have been a finalist in the Best Cup Competitions. 

It is also very satisfying to be able to represent my municipality as a producer of high quality coffee. I am grateful for the help of the agronomists who have helped me continue to improve the quality of my coffee.

OPINIA ROASTERA

A very floral, delicate, and sophisticated coffee. A complex character and unique acidity are the two main features that prompted us to purchase this coffee.  

RECIPE V60

• 16g of coffee

• 250g of water 96°C

• Medium Grind Size 

1. Put a paper filter in your V60 and rinse it with hot water ( 96C ). It will preheat your drip brewer and gets rid of a paper taste from the filter. For the best results always use filtered water (remember that  98,5 % of your brewed coffee is water)

2. Remove the rinsing water from the server.

3. Grind your beans just before you brew and add the coffee to the drip brewer. Gently distribute your coffee into the center of your V60.

4. Place your V60 on a vessel on a scale and make sure that your water is 96 C.

5. Tare your scale and start the timer.

6. Add 50 grams of water. Your coffee will begin to bloom.

7. At 30 seconds, add more water up to 100 grams. Pour the water slow, gently and in clockwise circles.

8. At 00:50 pour hot water to 200g. 

9. At 01:10 pour hot water to 250g.

10. Swirl your V60 and let the coffee drip. 

11. The water should have drained in around 3:00. You may need to change your grind setting, when the coffee finishes to brew too quickly or too long. But always taste and then judge your coffee.

Store in a cold and dry space.
