located in Vereda Alto Villa Mercedes, in the mountains of La Plata, Huila, Finca La Rosi is a five-hectare family coffee farm led by producer Tatiana Pete.

with a strong foundation in traditional coffee cultivation, Tatiana brings a thoughtful and experimental approach to production, combining careful agricultural practices with innovative processing techniques.

her philosophy centres around quality at every stage, from the selection of ripe cherries to responsible water management, controlled fermentation and careful drying. The aim is to preserve the character of each harvest while creating coffees that are clean, expressive and full of personality.

the process begins with the careful selection of Ombligon cherries at optimal ripeness. once harvested, the cherries undergo an initial oxidation stage lasting approximately 36 hours, with temperature carefully monitored to encourage the development of their natural sugars and flavour precursors. the cherries are then transferred into fermentation vessels, where a specifically selected yeast culture, prepared through a pre-starter, is introduced to enhance flavour development and encourage the extraction of aromatic compounds from the fruit during fermentation.

this controlled fermentation continues for approximately 36 hours, with pH monitored until it reaches 3.8, allowing for the development of a complex yet balanced sensory profile. following fermentation, the cherries are transferred to covered solar dryers for gradual, controlled drying, preserving the flavours developed throughout the process.

the result is a beautifully expressive coffee with layered fruit sweetness, vibrant acidity and a rich, lingering finish, showcasing the distinctive character of Ombligon.
