Cafe Granja La Esperanza

This Geisha coffee hails from Cerro Azul, the most renowned of the five farms owned by Rigoberto and Luis Herrera. As third-generation coffee producers, their family business, Café Granja La Esperanza, was established nearly a century ago. Years of cultivating varietals and experimenting with processing methods have resulted in award-winning coffee season after season. Cerro Azul exclusively produces Geisha coffee and is known for its sustainable practices, a core part of Granja La Esperanza’s philosophy. The farm’s hyper-productivity is a testament to these practices.

This honey-processed Geisha is made from cherries selected based on brix measurements. The cherries are pulped without water and dried using a combination of patios and silos. Drying in layered formations enhances the development of flavors and aromatic compounds, resulting in an elegant cup profile.

We are roasting with the 7kg Loring roaster in the shop which provides an efficiency and control of the quality, as the automated controls allow us to concentrate on creating the best coffee by releasing green beans from the hopper and precisely controlling the burner.
