The producer

From the innovative team at Café Granja La Esperanza, this naturally processed Colombian lot is a vivid expression of precision and terroir. Produced by the Herrera family, pioneers of modern Colombian specialty coffee, it reflects decades of refinement in cherry selection, fermentation, and post-harvest craft, earning their coffees a place on competition stages worldwide.

Grown between 1,499 and 1,800 metres, only the ripest cherries are selected, floated for density, and measured for Brix to ensure optimal sweetness before fermentation begins. A 72-hour open-air fermentation then gently unlocks layered aromatics and depth.

Drying follows in controlled mechanical silos at 38 °C over 8–12 days, before the coffee rests in climate-controlled storage to preserve freshness. The result is a bold yet polished cup, rich and expressive, with notes of glacé cherry, cognac, and 70% chocolate. Structured, indulgent, and deeply satisfying.
