Finca El Ocaso is a family-run farm located in the hills of Quindío, Colombia, established in 1987 by Uriel and Gustavo Patiño. Today, under the leadership of Santiago Patiño, the farm has evolved into a modern and progressive operation that brings together production, processing, roasting, and coffee tourism — all guided by a deep respect for nature and quality. Drawing on both tradition and innovation, the team at El Ocaso integrates agroforestry, selective varietal planting, and precision fermentation techniques to produce distinctive, high-quality coffees. Shade-grown trees, organic fertilisation, and meticulous cherry selection help slow down maturation, enhancing sweetness and clarity in the cup. Santiago’s expertise in anaerobic fermentation and his careful approach to processing — from flotation and sorting to drying on raised beds — reflect a dedication to flavour development and traceability at every step. This is the first time we’ve had the opportunity to work with Santiago, and we’re proud to share his outstanding work with our community. His vision, attention to detail, and commitment to quality are exactly the kind of values we look for at Sweven — and we’re excited to showcase what makes Finca El Ocaso such a special place.
