Colombia - Sweet Valley

alle del Cauca, Colombia, this exceptional coffee originates from the renowned Café Granja La Esperanza, a family legacy that began in 1930 when Israel Correa and Carmen Rosa Vega established the Potosi farm. Today, the estate comprises five farms—Cerro Azul, Las Margaritas, La Esperanza, Potosi, and Hawaii—recognized worldwide for producing award-winning specialty coffees.

This lot features the Colombia variety, a hybrid of Caturra and Hybrido de Timor, celebrated for its resilience and outstanding cup quality. Grown at elevations between 1,400 and 1,860 meters above sea level, the coffee undergoes a carefully managed natural process, beginning with a 15-hour controlled fermentation followed by approximately 72 hours of drying in a dehumidified environment. This meticulous approach enhances sweetness, complexity, and clarity in the cup.

The result is a vibrant and distinctive coffee bursting with notes of candyfloss, blueberry, cranberry, and white chocolate, delivering a sweet, fruit-forward profile with a smooth, lingering finish. A true expression of Colombian innovation and craftsmanship, this coffee showcases why Café Granja La Esperanza remains one of the most respected producers in the specialty coffee world.
