Finca Vista Hermosa, owned by Ciro Antonio Camayo, is located in the Buena Vista area of Totoró, Cauca, Colombia, at an elevation of approximately 2,000 meters above sea level.
The farm spans 3 hectares, with 2 hectares dedicated to cultivating around 8,000 Castillo variety coffee trees.
The coffee cherries are harvested at peak ripeness, typically when they turn purple, and are depulped on the same afternoon. The beans undergo a dry fermentation process in tanks for 18 hours, followed by triple washing to ensure cleanliness. Drying is conducted inside parabolic dryers that provide protection from rain, ensuring optimal drying conditions.
Ciro Camayo collaborates with Banexport, who provides technical support for best agricultural practices. This partnership emphasizes exquisite coffee processing and a commitment to quality, contributing to the farm's reputation for producing exceptional coffee.
The coffee from Finca Vista Hermosa is celebrated for its distinctive flavor profile, often featuring notes of blood orange, tropical fruit, sugar cane, and baking spice, with a very sweet and juicy character.
Ciro's dedication to meticulous cultivation and processing methods has positioned Finca Vista Hermosa as a notable producer in the Cauca region, contributing to the rich tapestry of Colombian specialty coffee.
